The event will be a great opportunity to learn about the work of the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, engage with Parliamentarians and others and to discuss The China Nexus, which provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of the human rights crisis in China today, with chapters on the Uyghur genocide, Tibet and the dismantling of Hong Kong’s freedoms as well as the crackdown on civil society, lawyers, bloggers, media and dissidents in mainland China, the persecution of Christians and Falun Gong, forced organ harvesting, and the threats posed by Xi Jinping’s regime to Taiwan and to our own freedoms, and ends with a chapter on what the international community should do.

Preface by Hong Kong activist Nathan Law and a Foreword by Lord Alton of Liverpool, and has been endorsed by, among others, the Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei, the last Governor of Hong Kong Lord Patten of Barnes, the former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the distinguished barrister Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws, KC, the pioneer of Magnitsky sanctions Bill Browder, and Sir Iain Duncan Smith. Within the book Ben details some of the work the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission did on China, and the impact it has had.

This event is open to the media.

Benedict Rogers first went to China at age 18 to teach English for six months in Qingdao (1992), three years after the Tiananmen Square massacre.

That opened the door to a thirty-year adventure with China, from teaching English in schools and hospitals to working as a journalist in Hong Kong documenting the plight of refugees escaping from Beijing-backed satellite dictatorships and then campaigning for human rights in China. In 2017, on the orders of Beijing, he was denied entry to Hong Kong, 20 years after he had moved to the city and began his working life as a journalist and activist.

His new book – “The China Nexus” – tells the story of his fight for freedom for the peoples of China and neighbouring countries Myanmar and North Korea and sets out how a global movement for human rights in China is emerging and what the free world should do next. It describes the importance of the “China Nexus” in the author’s journey and geopolitics and its challenges. Pioneering international inquiries into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, the genocide of the Uyghurs and global action for Hong Kong, as well as highlighting the Vatican’s silence, the author has been at the heart of advocacy for human rights in China in recent years.

Rogers takes the readers on a journey through some of the leaders and participants in the Human rights activities that China has suppressed since its inception in 1949. He goes on to dispute and lays to rest all of the specious claims by the tyrants in Beijing that all Chinese citizens are equal and are afforded human and civil rights. Currently, the regime is engaged in re-education, cultural assimilation, and multiple genocides, leading to better citizens for China and the world if one believes Chinese officials.

The Henry Jackson Society is delighted to present Benedict Roger’s most recent book, “The China Nexus. Thirty Years In and Around the Chinese Communist Party’s Tyranny”, where the author will be discussing the Chinese regime’s thirty years of tyranny and what to expect from the regime in the future with a panel of distinguished interlocutors who have seen China’s excesses firsthand: former Hong Kong legislator Wing Tat Lee, human rights activist Rahima Mahmut and CEO of the China Democracy Foundation in Canada Dean Baxendale.
