Since its first publication in 1912, this has become established as one of the most authoritative and exhaustive accounts of the Republican period of Chinese history. Bland was already a celebrated Sinologue and well known as the author (with J.E. Backhouse) of China under the Empress Dowager when he embarked upon this 'general survey' of contemporary events. The work is sweeping in scope and covers, among others, the causes and symptoms of unrest, the passing of the Manchus, constitutional government, the making of the republic, British and American policy, Russo-Japanese entente, and the opium question.

Headline: The Globe and Mail: Legal challenge halts Canadian, U.S. and U.K. release of book critical of Chinese Communist Party by Robert Fife That said it all. The hands of the Chinese Communist Party were going on the offence. The 48 Group Club a China friendly group of former UK ambassadors and Prime Ministers were embarrassed by their connections to a Club founded by key members of the Chinese Communist Party of Britain who's chair Stephen Perry suggested that China's approach to world order and rule was superior to democracy and the UK should embrace them. Asked if he believed the lawsuit was an effort by the Chinese government to stop the publication of his book, Mr. Hamilton said: “I have no evidence of that, although it should be noted that the Chinese government has used lawfare in the past.” Lawfare is the use of legal action as part of a campaign against a target. Governments around the world are in the early stages of a repositioning of power, as China rises and the United States is drawn into direct competition. However, some are beginning to wonder whether, for all of the economic benefits, engaging with China carries unseen dangers. The Chinese Communist Party is now determined to reshape the world in its image. The party is not interested in democracy. It divides the world into those who can be won over and enemies. They have already lured many leaders to their corner; others are weighing up a devil's bargain. Through its exercise of ‘sharp power,’ the party is weakening global institutions, aggressively targeting individual corporations, and threatening freedom of expression from the arts to academia. At the same time, security services are increasingly worried about incursions into our communications infrastructure. Indeed, the vaunted Great Firewall is a temporary measure, only necessary until the party has transformed the global conversation. In December 2019, the CCP's obsession with social control led it to suppress expert warnings about the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. Most alarming for the West was the active collaboration of the WHO in spreading the CCP's version of events. It was a shocking example of the widespread co-optation of global institutions by the CCP, as described in Hidden Hand. As soon as Beijing thought it had the virus under control, it began a global propaganda blitz, presenting China's authoritarian system as a model for the rest of the world. Western media and pundits soon began echoing the Party line. Hidden Hand is a detailed and devastating expose of Chinese Communist Party influence in the West, including Canada. It could not arrive at a better time in Canada, with relations between Ottawa and Beijing reaching breaking point after two years of mounting tension. China's bullying behaviour, and the mobilising of people loyal to the Chinese Communist Party on the streets of Canada's cities, has caused deep disquiet among Canadians. But the government seems paralyzed. Hidden Hand shows how Canada's political, business, academic and cultural elites have over many years been co-opted by the Chinese Communist Party and its agencies. They are confused about what is in Canada's national interests and frequently do Beijing's bidding. Hidden Hand shows how the Chinese Communist Party represents a profound threat to Western democracy. It's vital reading for Canadians who want to understand what is really happening, and points to a way of carving out a new diplomatic course with China. But the question remains: Does the government have the will to stand up to Beijing and its proxies in Canada or is it too late?
"The Search for a Vanishing Beijing weaves the genres of travel essays and travel guides into a comprehensive narrative about the cultural mosaic of the capital of China.
Excerpt from Congressional Policy of Chinese Immigration: Or Legislation Relating to Chinese Immigration to the United States While an undergraduate at Peking University in 1905 the writ er's attention was first attracted to the governmental policy of the United States in the exclusion of Chinese by the incident of the concerted boycott of American goods in China. Coming over to San Francisco three years ago, the writer had the privilege though not accorded in a pleasant way, being detained and held for observation - of visiting the Detention Station at Angel Island, and there saw the actual conditions and treatment the unfortu nate Chinese were meeting with. These two insignificant inci dents aroused his interest in this question and furnished him the resolve to make a study of it while here. Several books and many pamphlets and articles have been writ ten in this country on the question of Chinese immigration; but of the writers, almost all treat the subject from a practical standpoint and make their strongest arguments turn primarily on the point of economic and social interests of this country, leaving untouched the more fundamental and vital question of right or wrong involved in this policy. Moreover, some writers seem to think that the Chinese in this country are, without excep tion, innocent victims of oppression; and others hold this gov ernment absolutely justified in her legislation taken to exclude this undesirable element. The mutually contributory condition. Which was probably the real cause for this unpleasant event, seems to have been lost sight of. The present study is made with these two points constantly in view.
