Book Talk: ‘America Second: How America’s Elites are Making China Stronger’
SPEAKER
ISAAC STONE FISH
Monday, March 28, 2022
8pm HKT on Zoom
‘America Second: How America’s Elites are Making China Stronger’, published in February by Knopf, exposes a deep network of Beijing’s influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent figures like former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, Disney chairman Bob Iger, and members of the Bush family. Stone Fish traces the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party’s influence in America. He shows how America’s leaders initially welcomed China’s entry into the U.S. economy, believing that trade and engagement would lead to a more democratic China. And he explains how business people and politicians have become too dependent on China to challenge it. Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg.
