Description
In 2020, liberal democracy came to a sudden halt. The COVID-19 pandemic was met with an unprecedented global response, as governments implemented mass quarantines and lockdowns that had far-reaching consequences. Behind this response was the Chinese Communist Party's influence operation, which manipulated scientific data and propaganda on a massive scale. The lockdowns were not about science, but rather a result of the CCP's efforts to shape global policy. This book tells the story of how Xi Jinping's regime used these measures to transform the narrative around COVID-19, and why it had such devastating effects on the world. Senger's account sheds light on the events that led to this catastrophic response, revealing the ways in which the CCP corrupted global institutions and promoted false information.
