In his new book Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World, Alex Joske, Senior Analyst at Australian Strategic Policy Institute, examines how China's Ministry of State Security has spent decades shaping foreign attitudes toward China's rise. Their efforts have targeted policymakers, diplomats, retired officials, scholars, media organizations, and religious leaders around the world. This book draws on Australia's experience countering foreign interference to assess why governments failed to recognize the nature of China's rise and its influence operations earlier.
Please join the CSIS Australia Chair Charles Edel on October 12th at 10:00am ET for a conversation with Alex Joske to discuss the Chinese Communist Party's international intelligence operations, their impact, and lessons learned for other countries.
