Description: Made in China by Jasper Becker Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A fascinating account of how China released a deadly virus as a consequence of its biowarfare research and attempts to overtake Western big pharma Publisher Description What might COVID-19 mean for, and reveal about, Chinas place in the world?The coronavirus pandemic started in Wuhan, home to the leading lab studying the SARS virus and bats. Was that pure coincidence? This book explores what we know, and still dont know, about the origins of COVID-19, and how it was handled in China.We may never get all the answers, but much is already clear: Chinas record as the origin of earlier pandemics, and its struggle to bring contagious diseases under control; its history as both a victim of biological warfare and a developer of deadly bioweapons. When Covid broke out, Wuhan was building science parks to realise Beijings ambitions in biotech research. Whoever achieves global leadership of the gene-editing industry stands to harvest great power and wealth.China has already challenged Western technological supremacy with 5G and in other industries. Yet this tiny, invisible virus has cruelly exposed a critical flaw in the Chinese political system: obsessive secrecy. The West wanted to trust the PRC, hoping that, as it prospered, it would become an open society. Made in China reveals how Beijings leaders have betrayed that trust.

A Mandarin-speaker, he has written on China for The Guardian, The Economist and The Spectator. He is the author of ten books including the acclaimed Hungry Ghosts: Maos Secret Famine.
