The China Declaration (Book 4)

Life has finally settled down for Jack Gold. But all this downtime has left him feeling out of shape and without purpose, as the world around him continues to change. When President Wang Yang loses his re-election bid in China, Jack fears that everything he’s done for the country will be all for nothing, as Wang’s successor is vehemently opposed to everything Jack stands for. When the government-provided security detail is removed and Jack finds his family in imminent danger, they relocate to the United States, where an opportunity to work within the United States government presents itself that Jack simply cannot turn down.Using the Declaration of Independence as his inspiration, Jack pens a document outlining China’s misdeeds and the remedies that could bring true democratic change to the country of over one billion people. But the only way such a plan can succeed is if the government censorship over what Chinese citizens are able to access online is eradicated. This is no small undertaking, but if they can harness the power of social media and fight back against an onslaught of disinformation, the communist regime might finally be toppled. But when China invades Taiwan, it is up to Jack to take the decisive action to neutralize the threat and usher in democracy and freedom to the world’s most populous nation.Written by Brad Good, who started living and working in the People’s Republic of China in 1988, THE CHINA AFFAIRS is a series of four novels that take place in China.
