China's silent army: the pioneers, traders, fixers and workers who are remaking the world in Beijing's image

'China's Silent Army' is a revealing and gripping piece of investigative journalism into the unknown extent of China's global power by Juan Pablo Cardenal and Heriberto Araújo.

The book stems from the remarkable, determined work of these two Chinese-based journalists who, frustrated by the facile, pro-business commentary of so much writing on China and the evasions of Beijing's official pronouncements, took a drastic decision: to see for themselves just how rapidly China is spreading its influence around the world.
