Powerful ... brilliant ... The book cuts to the political core -- Michael Sheridan * Sunday Times * Lively and humane ... [China's Silent Army] offers essential information for all who wish to learn how the global reach of China Inc is transforming the lives of everyone on this planet -- Frank Dikoetter * Literary Review * Excellent macro-economic insights ... but ultimately the human stories are what make it so compelling ... China's Silent Army ought to be required reading for all EU bureaucrats * Prospect * Engaging and sympathetic ... Fascinating and vivid * Spectator * [Cardenal and Araujo's] research is prodigious and the facts they unearth startling. In their investigation into Chinese business habits they visited 25 countries, from Siberia to South America via South-East Asia, Africa and the Middle East ... the Chinese should reflect on the questions the book raises. To put it mildly, there appears to be a case to answer -- George Walden * Evening Standard *
