À propos de cet audio
Landing in Vancouver on a flight from Hong Kong on December 2018, Chinese telecom executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested by Canadian authorities with an American extradition warrant. The US Department of Justice accused Meng of fraud and bypassing sanctions against Iran. Nine days later, in an act of retaliation, China arrested two Canadians—Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur, and Michael Kovrig, a peace advocate—charging them with spying.
Imprisoned and interrogated, the two Michaels became hostages in a tense showdown between China and the United States over not only the Meng extradition but whether East or West will control the future of the internet.
In this timely and essential book, journalist Mike Blanchfield and international affairs expert Fen Osler Hampson combine groundbreaking original reporting and keen analysis to tell this gripping and ongoing story of cyber espionage, life-and-death diplomacy, and global superpowers in conflict.
©2021 Fen Osler Hampson, Mike Blanchfield (P)2022 Doubleday CanadaI could have used a little more character development on both of the Michaels… they still blended together a bit in my mind and I kept having to remind myself which was which.
Narration was fine, except for the way China was pronounced (almost spit out, with derision, like Trump says it, hence I was constantly reminded of Trump!)
Very good!
