The Second Continent by Howard French

There's a fantastic book called The Second Continent by Howard French. It tells the story of how a couple of different Chinese interests are sort of wiggling their way into the halls of power and as well. And the overwhelming message that he makes is just that they're only there for economic interests. They give zero, there's no consideration of how moral a government might be or what a cultural expectation might be. Maybe that is a separate way of going about things from the neoliberal more American style that you experienced during the time in AHM.
