China's Silent Army by Cardenal Juan Pablo
Offers a piece of investigative journalism into the unknown extent of China's global power, from China-based reporters Juan Pablo Cardenal and Heriberto Araujo.

Lively and humane ... [China's Silent Army] offers essential information for all who wish to learn how the global reach of China Inc is transforming the lives of everyone on this planet -- Frank Dikoetter * Literary Review *
Excellent macro-economic insights ... but ultimately the human stories are what make it so compelling ... By shining a light on the industriousness of Chinese citizens around the world, China's Silent Army helps us understand why the chairman of China's sovereign wealth fund recently criticised Europe's welfare system and employment laws ... It ought to be required reading for all EU bureaucrats * Prospect *
[Cardenal and Araujo's] research is prodigious and the facts they unearth startling. In their investigation into Chinese business habits they visited 25 countries, from Siberia to South America via South-East Asia, Africa and the Middle East ... the Chinese should reflect on the questions the book raises. To put it mildly, there appears to be a case to answer -- George Walden * Evening Standard *
