This is The China Gambit.
It documents what happens when the vested interests of China and domestic parties align
and produce results that scar and undermine democracies.
It explores the challenges confronting various sectors, communities, and civic spaces.
It commends more accountability advocacy work, reforms, and institutional mechanisms that can help level the unequal playing field between China and the citizens of the four countries who are the most adversely affected by the deals and decisions made by their leaders.
It calls on democracy actors in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Fiji to hold China and its national co-players in this gambit accountable for playing bad.
