Every Breath You Take - Featured in The Times and Sunday Times by Ian Williams

Ian Williams examines the extraordinary rise of the Chinese surveillance state, how information is controlled and how it affects the population.The book also considers the wider implications for all of us, and how we are all tracked, monitored and followed with every click, view and search we make.

'Ian Williams has written a superb and deeply informed study on containing a technological totalitarian stateIt is a chilling reminder to all who believe in the rule of law and an open society of China's present threats to our way of life'

-- Chris Patten (Lord Patten of Barnes), last governor of Hong Kong and current Chancellor of Oxford University

'Forget Soviet Russia, Xi’s China now echoes 1930s Germany'

* Sunday Times *

'Fascinating… a really interesting book. China has no private companies… you are always dealing with the Chinese Communist State whenever you deal with them. An unarguable fact'

-- Stig Abell * Times Radio *

'Williams knows his stuff, as an award-winning foreign correspondent reporting for a quarter of a century from Asia with a special interest in China. This is an accessible, valuable, troubling, timely book'

-- Ian Martin * Reaction Life *

'one of the year's most exciting releases'

* The Herald *

'I have been reading a superb new book by the journalist Ian Williams called Every Breath You Take: China's New Tyranny. The title comes from the 1982 hit song by the band known as The Police, written by its frontman Sting, who later described it as "a nasty little song. Rather evil. It's about jealousy and surveillance and ownership." It refers to "every move you make … I’ll be watching you." A stalker, not a lover; an oppressor, not a partner. In every sense, the CCP regime. Yet not only watching you. Now, in Hong Kong, lecturing you every day'

-- Benedict Rogers * HK Apple Daily *

'A devastating exposé'

-- Dominic Sandbrook * Daily Mail *

'A persuasive, alarming wake-up call'

-- Brian Maye * Irish Times *
