The Canadian publisher of a book on Beijing’s influence abroad and on Western business elites and politicians says he plans on publishing the book on its original release date despite a legal challenge initially putting plans on hold.
The book “Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping the World” by Clive Hamilton and Mareike Ohlberg was set to be released in the United States and United Kingdom last week, and in Canada on July 1 in digital format and on July 3 in hard copy. However, the plan was put on hold after a legal challenge by a British organization named in the book. The book has already been published in Australia and Germany.
