The China Nexus

Mehr zum Buch

Benedict Rogers, born in London, first traveled to China at 18 to teach English, marking the beginning of a thirty-year journey that includes teaching, journalism, and human rights advocacy. His experiences range from working in Hong Kong post-handover to documenting the plight of refugees fleeing oppressive regimes in Myanmar and North Korea. This narrative highlights his commitment to human rights, focusing on Uyghurs, Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and dissidents, as well as the people of Hong Kong. The author emphasizes the emergence of a global movement for human rights in China and the significance of the "China Nexus" in his advocacy work. He has pioneered inquiries into forced organ harvesting and the genocide of the Uyghurs while addressing the Vatican's silence on these issues. In 2017, Rogers was denied entry to Hong Kong, where he had lived and worked for two decades. He co-founded Hong Kong Watch and collaborated with various international organizations, including the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance for China and the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign. The book critiques the Chinese Communist Party's human rights abuses, including genocide and organ harvesting, and challenges the regime's claims of equality and rights for its citizens. The author aims to debunk the narrative that dismisses reports of abuses in Xinjiang, asserting that international evidence is credible and compelling.
