Silent Invasion: China's Influence in Australia by Clive Hamilton
4.0
A very interesting insight into the influence that the CCP has over its citizens and how it is trying to influence the two nations that are weakened (Australia and New Zealand) by geography. It is also interesting the narrative the CCP is trying to force onto the Australian population.
There was an interesting comment made about that Chinese students take the slightest offence at something and think its an attack on the motherland and it can whip up a 'jingoistic fervour' in them. As well as how fast Chinese students can be mobilised for the state or how fast they can be punished for comments made against the CCP.
Another point is how easily Australian politicians can be quick to accept money from donors for comments and a pro-Beijing point, an interesting point to be on the lookout for in the future.
