BEIJING—One of Australia’s largest independent publishers said it decided to delay the publication of a book which alleges widespread Chinese government influence in Australian institutions due to legal concerns.
Sydney-based Allen & Unwin said in a statement on Sunday, Nov. 12, that it decided to delay publication of the book, “Silent Invasion”, following “extensive legal advice”. It said the book’s author, Clive Hamilton, was unwilling to delay publication and requested the return of the book’s rights.
