China's troubled but predatory economy remains addictive to some, but also coercive, corrupt and at times surreal. My new book, published by @BirlinnBooks on 5 Sept, shows how CCP ruthlessly bends business to its will - but is fast running out of options

As @realDonaldTrump imposes more tariffs, Chinese companies are finding multiple ways to avoid them, often by just re-badging 'made in China' as made elsewhere. As I write in @thetimes it could turn into giant game of whac-a-mole #China #TradeWar

Operation kowtow continues. As I write in the Mail on Sunday, @Keir_Starmer govt is ignoring local residents & security concerns in what appears to be a murky deal to allow #China to build a monstrous new embassy in East London

Looking forward to sitting down with @MarkLClifford at @frontlineclub on Feb 6 to discuss his new bio of #jimmylai, and what Lai’s persecution tells us about #hongkong #china and the appeasement of beijing by the the UK govt.
📚TALK: Join us, @ianwill & @_Troublemak3r_ #JimmyLai bio author @MarkLClifford @frontlineclub on Feb 6! Mark will share experiences advocating on his former colleague's behalf, even as Downing Street cosies up to #Beijing and looks the other way.

@Keir_Starmer and his ministers appear to be competing to see who can kowtow lowest to China. As I write in @spectator it ‘s desperate & morally repugnant, will increase dependencies and undermine security #China #reeves

@Keir_Starmer and his ministers appear to be competing to see who can kowtow lowest to Xi Jinping's vile regime. As I write in @spectator not only is it desperate & morally repugnant, but will only deepen dependencies & undermine security #China #reeves

@Keir_Starmer & his ministers appear to be competing over who can kowtow lowest to China's vile government. It represents a desperate and shameful sell-out to the CCP, and as I describe in @spectator it will be costly for Britain #China #reeves #NetZero

Timing of @RachelReevesMP visit to Beijing is awful. As I report in @spectator the govt's attempt to construct a coherent #china policy is shameful. If there is one lesson from recent years of policy failure, it is that appeasement doesn't work

A pleasure to talk with @LeeAlanHall on @BritishThgtLdrs about my new book, ‘Vampire State: the rise and fall of the Chinese economy’ and how security-obsessed Xi Jinping can’t reform a model that’s no longer sustainable, posing serious threat to CCP #china #chinaeconomy
Journalist @IanWill talks with @LeeAlanHall about the false financial figures the CCP presents to the world, Western companies moving out of China, Chinese criminal enclaves being set up in Asian countries, and why Chinese electric vehicles are a national security risk.
