"I just finished reading China Coup and loved it. . . . By posing a provocative what if, Mr. Garside expands the terms of our debate on China." * CHINADebate * "A compelling read and a convincing one. At the very least, if Canadians are worried about growing Chinese Communist influence in the free world, they can find in this book a key to unlock a twenty-first-century riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." * Literary Review of Canada * "I decided to treat China Coup as a kind of Orwellian-but-with-a-happy-ending foray into speculative fiction. I knew I would need to take Garsides claims with a grain of salt, as he would focus as intently on finding cracks in seemingly smooth facades as CCP propagandists, who create semi-fictional texts of their own, strive to present those surfaces as flawless." -- Jeffrey Wasserstrom * Mekong Review * "The credentials of the author are burnished by a lifetime of close scrutiny of the Peoples Republic, so in a field of many self-proclaimed experts, but fewer genuine authorities, Garside demands attention." * The Tablet * "Garside has had an illustrious career in the financial sector and as a diplomat, including two stints at the British embassy in Beijing. In China Coup he applies his extensive experience to map out a plausible scenario for Xis ouster. . . . Garsides book serves as a timely reminder that there are deep divisions within the CCP, that many of Xis policies are vastly unpopular, and that he has powerful enemies among the partys top leaders. Most importantly, Garside reminds us that the outcome of the 2022 party congress is not a done deal." * The Strategist * "Thought-provoking but not fanciful." * CHOICE *
