This detailed assessment brings the threat into focus and suggests important ways to counteract it. * John Bolton, Former US National Security Advisor (2018-2019) and Former US Ambassador to the United Nations (2005-2006) * A highly illuminating narrative and a remarkable articulation of how China builds sharp power around the world and wield influence especially in developing countries. The book is a must-read for anyone trying to understand China's global information campaign. * Yun Sun, Director of China Program, the Stimson Center * In Beijing's Global Media Offensive, Joshua Kurlantzick has produced a lucid and penetrating investigation into the history, theory, and practice of China's global influence efforts. He shows that behind a veil of 'non-interference' in other nations' internal affairs, Beijing engages in a growing range of open and covert efforts to make friends, influence people, and shape foreign nations in ways supportive of its increasing global ambitions. Kurlantzick knows this terrain well, detailing the challenge posed by China's global media and influence efforts, and what the democratic world can do in response. Essential reading for a dawning era of superpower competition. * Sebastian Strangio, Southeast Asia editor at The Diplomat and author of In the Dragon's Shadow: Southeast Asia in the Chinese Century * This is a truly important book. Full of thoughtful insights and copious details, Joshua Kurlantzick has produced the missing link in our understanding of one of the most underappreciated geopolitical phenomena of our time: China's use of media and information tools to present itself to the world in a benign light while undermining the United States and other liberal democracies. Kurlantzick leads the way for an important reconsideration of how political motivations, rather than economic concerns, are now the main driver behind China's international engagement. * Joshua Eisenman, Associate Professor of Politics in the Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame * Author InformationJoshua Kurlantzick is a Senior Fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Kurlantzick was previously a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he studied Southeast Asian politics and economics and China's relations with Southeast Asia, including Chinese investment, aid, and diplomacy.
