Living in fear of an oppressive regime

The China Nexus:  Thirty Years In and Around the Chinese Communist Party’s Tyranny 

Benedict Rogers 

Optimum Publishing, £18.99, 360 pages

Part memoir and part exposé, Benedict Rogers’ The China Nexus is a com- mendable addition to an already vast literature on the lamentable record of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The title refers to the regime being the “nexus” that unites the author, the persecuted peoples and dissidents – and eventually, it is hoped, the Chinese people – against its own tyranny. The author’s ultimate aim is to demonstrate that “being pro-China and pro-CCP are two entirely different things”.
