I am pleased to announce that High Asia Press will soon be releasing my new
book, BUYING THE DRAGON'S TEETH. Dragon is an updated and much expanded version
of the pamphlet MADE IN CHINA, which was published shortly before the launch of
our boycott campaign (a fuller description of the book is provided below). High
Asia Press and Tibet House have planned a book signing event in New York
City on 25th October where Tibet House president Professor Robert Thurman and
eminent Chinese dissident and laogai authority, Harry Wu will join me in
discussing the moral and political costs of buying anything "Made in China".
Details of the event are listed below and on the attached invitation, which I
hope you will circulate widely as this event is open to the public.

BUYING THE DRAGON'S TEETH:
How Your Money Empowers a Cruel and Dangerous Communist Regime
in China and Undermines Labor, Industry and Freedom Worldwide
A lucid, powerful exposé of the real - not CNN's or Fox's - China. Up-to-date
reports on the PRC's ongoing crimes against humanity: forced labor (laogai)
camps, harvesting of transplant organs of executed prisoners, forced abortions,
repression of all religions, cultural genocide in Tibet and military crackdown
in East Turkestan. The book also introduces some lesser-known but worrying
developments, as Internet censorship (the world's tightest) and the truly
disturbing psychiatric persecution of political prisoners. A section detailing
the conditions of China's disenfranchised, exploited and oppressed workers and
peasants bolsters the book's underlying argument that people of conscience must
boycott "Made in China" products. This case is further advanced by the
concluding analysis that labor and industry worldwide have been undermined and
fundamental freedoms eroded by the relentless flood of dirt-cheap Chinese
products.
A chilling account of China's secret contribution to Iraq, Libya, North Korea
and Pakistan's nuclear program is also provided in disturbing detail. Overall,
a cautionary piece of reading that should make anyone pause when reaching for
a "Made in China" product on a Walmart shelf.
