| In a new book, The China Price, journalist Alexandra Harney uncovers the truth about how China can offer the world such amazingly low prices. She has discovered a Hobbesian world where intense price-pressures from Western companies blend with corruption and lack of transparency to take a hidden, unconscionable toll in human suffering and environmental damage.
A Princeton University graduate who speaks Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, Harney has written about Asia for a decade. She has covered Hong Kong, China and Japan for The Financial Times. Her work has appeared in many international newspapers and magazines.
From 6:30 to 8 p.m. on April 9, Harney will meet with readers at the Bookazine store in the Prince’s Building in Hong Kong’s Central Business District. Admission is free, but anyone wishing to attend should RSVP to the store: enquiries@bookazine.com.hk.
