520 1 $a"Behind the glittering facade of the bustling Chinese cities, nearly one billion people live in abject poverty. Although 200 million Chinese, those fortunate enough to be working in an expanding global market, enjoy a middle-class standard of living, the remaining one billion, those in rural China, are among the poorest, most exploited people in the world: no schools, no healthcare, no hope. Discontent and rebellions are suppressed by a brutal police force, while human rights activists and religious leaders are imprisoned or executed. As Guy Sorman reveals in The Empire of Lies, China's success is, at least in part, an illusion." "This year the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will take place in a sanitized environment. Sorman does not advocate a boycott of China; instead he illustrates how the economic and cultural renaissance of the Chinese people is good news for all: Liberal democracy is the future of China as despotism is by its very nature unsustainable." "The Empire of Lies was first published in French in 2006. Since then the book has been translated and published in Poland, Spain, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, India. The U.S. edition has been updated with a new foreword."--BOOK JACKET.
