Beijing Rules - Interview with Bethany Allen

In this episode of Perspectives with Neilo, I'm chatting with Bethany Allen, award-winning China reporter for Axios and author of the book Beijing Rules - China's Quest for Global Influence.

I met up with Bethany in Taipei last November to talk about some of the many important topics covered in her book including; how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exerts control over Chinese companies, as well as the CCP's propaganda reach and online disinformation operations. We also discussed how China ties market access to political acquiescence, her reaction to statements by Irish politicians on China and much more.
