Meet and hear two authors discuss their new books on China!
Befriending China by Dee Knight tells of China’s “opening” to a flood of visitors, as part of “People-To- People Peacemaking.” Partially based on three recent visits to China, it highlights exciting tourism opportunities, and describes the achievements China has made in infrastructure, education, health care, and poverty alleviation. It includes an eye-witness account of visiting Xinjiang, debunking official US rumors of abuse of the Uyghur population there.
Why The World Needs China by Kyle Ferrana “Kyle has written a beautiful book. In a time when we are bombarded with lies and propaganda, he offers us an exploration into China. Our efforts at China Is Not Our Enemy are for all of us to see each other in ways that lead to cooperation, appreciation and working together for a vibrant future for all. I felt at the core of Kyle’s book is this offering; a pathway to peace.” JODIE EVANS, co-founder CODEPINK and China Is Not Our Enemy
