Book Synopsis In the Jaws of the Dragon by : Eamonn Fingleton
Download or read book In the Jaws of the Dragon written by Eamonn Fingleton and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-03-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, popular wisdom has held that opening American markets to Chinese goods was the best way to promote democracy in Beijing---that the Communist Party's grip would quickly weaken as increasingly affluent Chinese citizens embraced American values. That popular wisdom was wrong. As Eamonn Fingleton shows in this devastating book, instead of America changing China, China is changing America. Although this process of reverse convergence has been swept largely under the carpet by knee-jerk globalists in the American press, Americans will soon be hearing much more about it. Nowhere is the pattern more obvious than in business. Many top American corporations---Boeing, AT&T, the Detroit automobile companies, among them-openly collaborate with the Chinese Communist Party. In a stunning rejection of Western values, Yahoo! even provided the Chinese secret police with vital evidence that resulted in a ten-year jail sentence for one of its Chinese subscribers, a brave young dissident, under draconian censorship laws. Selling the American national interest short, countless other corporations abjectly do Beijing's lobbying in Congress. This book---the culmination of twenty years of study---also breaks new ground by revealing the secret behind China's phenomenal savings rate. Top leaders literally force the Chinese people to save through a highly counterintuitive---and, to ordinary citizens, virtually invisible---policy called suppressed consumption. This practice, which is to economics roughly what steroids are to sport, is fundamentally incompatible with Western ideas of fair global competition. It is reinforced by an Orwellian system of political control that, as Fingleton reveals, utilizes an ancient bureaucratic tool called selective enforcement---a form of blackmail that instills a silent reign of terror throughout Chinese society. Most worryingly, selective enforcement can readily be unleashed on any American corporation with interests in China---which is to say just about every member of the Fortune 500. While the Chinese people's rising affluence is, of course, an occasion for wholehearted rejoicing, Uncle Sam should give the Chinese power system a wide berth---lest he catch his coattails in the jaws of a dragon.

Book excerpt: "China Inc., the business arm of China's repressive dictatorship, is trying to take over the world by grabbing key sectors of various countries' economics as part of its strategic plan for global control of the world's resources.[...] China chose New Zealand as the first Western country with which to have a Free Trade agreement, which is more about colonising and dominating our economy than about free trade. The same thing happened in Australia with its Free Trade agreement with China in 2016. The governments of both countries have bent over backwards to accomodate the interests of China Inc. - often at the expense of prospects and interests of ordinary Australians and New Zealanders. [...] This book should be read by every Australian and New Zealander since it affects the future prospects of our two countries in respect of economic welfare, sovereignty and national security. It is a case of getting a grip on the situation now or sleepwalking to a situation where we will finish up as lowly paid serfs in the lands that were built by the sweat and toil of the pioneers"--Back cover.

Book excerpt: "China Inc., the business arm of China's repressive dictatorship, is trying to take over the world by buying key sectors of various countries' economies as part of its strategic plan for global control of the world's resources. China's rapid arms build-up suggests that it is preparing to back its ever increasing demands on other countries with force. China chose New Zealand as the first Western country with which to have a free trade agreement, which is more about colonising and dominating our economy than about free trade. Since then the New Zealand government has bent over backwards to accommodate the interests of China Inc. - often at the expense of the prospects and interests of ordinary New Zealanders. This book should be read by every New Zealander since it affects the future prospects of the country in respect of economic welfare, sovereignty and national security.

Download or read book Dragon's Jaw written by Stephen Coonts and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting Vietnam War story--and one of the most dramatic in aviation history--told by a New York Times bestselling author and a prominent aviation historian Every war has its "bridge"--Old North Bridge at Concord, Burnside's Bridge at Antietam, the railway bridge over Burma's River Kwai, the bridge over Germany's Rhine River at Remagen, and the bridges over Korea's Toko Ri. In Vietnam it was the bridge at Thanh Hoa, called Dragon's Jaw. For seven long years hundreds of young US airmen flew sortie after sortie against North Vietnam's formidable and strategically important bridge, dodging a heavy concentration of anti-aircraft fire and enemy MiG planes. Many American airmen were shot down, killed, or captured and taken to the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" POW camp. But after each air attack, when the smoke cleared and the debris settled, the bridge stubbornly remained standing. For the North Vietnamese it became a symbol of their invincibility; for US war planners an obsession; for US airmen a testament to American mettle and valor. Using after-action reports, official records, and interviews with surviving pilots, as well as untapped Vietnamese sources, Dragon's Jaw chronicles American efforts to destroy the bridge, strike by bloody strike, putting readers into the cockpits, under fire. The story of the Dragon's Jaw is a story rich in bravery, courage, audacity, and sometimes luck, sometimes tragedy. The "bridge" story of Vietnam is an epic tale of war against a determined foe.

Want to recognize and effectively respond to the top two Spirits invading your Christian Home? What do you think of when you hear the word "Witchcraft"? Tarot cards? Chicken bones? Ouija boards? Witchcraft is more than the obvious. Today, witchcraft has a deceptive new face. It has been repackaged and even "Christianized". The new form of witchcraft is more dangerous. Witches and practitioners of "the craft" are trained to infiltrate the Body of Christ. Satan uses these "wolves in sheep's clothing" to destroy spiritual leaders and wreck Christian homes. This book tells the sobering account of a committed, Christian leader who was nearly destroyed by such infiltration. Through telling her powerful story, compelling Scriptures and cutting-edge research, Shauna Manfredine exposes Christianized witchcraft and identifies the two ruling spirits leading the attack against Christians today.
