Chinese Spies by Roger Faligot

Are the Chinese secret services now the most powerful in the world? After a long investigation into Beijing's intelligence services and the backrooms of international politics, journalist and writer Roger Faligot may have found the answer. An Asia specialist, Faligot has taken his search to China, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia, delving into archives, unearthing previously unseen documents and interviewing a broad cast of experts: intelligence officers, politicians, diplomats, defense analysts, defectors and dissidents. This revealing book exposes China's aspirations as a superpower, with secret services active in every field and across the Western world, from state security and political espionage to information wars, economic intelligence and cyberwar. Faligot's is the first account to take us right through recent events, from the Beijing Olympics into Xi Jinping's absolute rule.

'This is an intense book[Chinese Spies] is the result of huge research but also demonstrates the author’s immense knowledge of the politics, attitudes and identities of the political elite of the People’s Republic of China.'
