Rupert's Adventures in China by Bruce Dover
Rupert Murdoch was blackballed by the Chinese authorities and a 'Murdoch File' was opened by a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party. Despite this opposition, Murdoch remained committed to establishing a media presence in China. This book provides details on his money-spinning deals and ventures with high-profile Chinese figures.
"Murdoch's rivals and critics will relish this inside account of Beijing's sometimes amusing humbling of the media magnate" Financial Times "A rare insider's account of how the Chinese got the better of the businessman who usually gets what he wants" The Economist "A riveting story of about two of the world's most powerful forces" The Guardian
Bruce Dover is a senior media operative who spent several years running Rupert Murdoch's 'China push'. He is now the Chief Executive of Australia Network, the international satellite television network of the Australia Broadcasting Corporation, and divides his time between Sydney and Vietnam.
