講座內容：
貝書穎（Bethany Allen）為前美國媒體 Axios的獲獎中國版記者，揭示了中國共產黨通過將經濟利潤與政治妥協掛鉤，迫使全球企業和政府接受其規則。新冠疫情標誌著中共首次在與全球每一個人健康和福祉直接相關的問題上運用其經濟脅迫的手段。然而，西方民主國家在這場北京的遊戲中並非無辜受害者，西方創造了專制資本主義崛起的條件，使政治價值與市場結構脫鉤。
《北京規則》一書中有許多引人注目的故事，講述西方機構如何屈從於北京的壓力——這一切讓人窺見如果自由民主穩固地落入專制資本主義的掌控，美國的未來可能會變成什麼樣子。此書透過一系列深度調查報導，警示我們必須採取行動，以免失去我們現在所視為理所當然的自由。

Abstract ：
Bethany Allen, the award-winning China reporter for Axios, shows that by tying profits to political acquiescence the Chinese Communist Party is forcing companies and governments around the world to accept its rules. The coronavirus pandemic marked the first time that the Party deployed its tool kit of economic coercion on an issue directly related to the health and well-being of quite literally every person in the world. But Western democracies aren’t helpless victims in Beijing’s game. The West created the conditions for the rise of authoritarian capitalism by divorcing political values from market structures.
Written by one of the first American journalists to expose China's covert influence operations in the United States, Beijing Rules includes headline-making stories of Western institutions bowing to Beijing’s pressure—a glimpse of what America’s future may look like should liberal democracy come firmly under the thumb of authoritarian capitalism. Grounded in deep investigative reporting, it sounds the alarm about what we must do to prevent the loss of freedoms we now take for granted.
