Book Event: Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the WorldThe CSIS Australia Chair cordially invites you to "Book Event: Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World." Wednesday, October 12, 2022 10:00 am - 11:00 am ET In his new book Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World, Alex Joske, Senior Analyst at Australian Strategic Policy Institute, examines how China's Ministry of State Security has spent decades shaping foreign attitudes toward China's rise. Their efforts have targeted policymakers, diplomats, retired officials, scholars, media organizations, and religious leaders around the world. This book draws on Australia's experience countering foreign interference to assess why governments failed to recognize the nature of China's rise and its influence operations earlier. Please join the CSIS Australia Chair Charles Edel on October 12th at 10:00am ET for a conversation with Alex Joske to discuss the Chinese Communist Party's international intelligence operations, their impact, and lessons learned for other countries. CSIS’s Australia Chair is dedicated to increasing understanding between the United States and Australia and serves as an independent platform to pursue policy changes that strengthen bilateral ties.

North Korean Human Rights at a New Juncture: COVID, Regional Players, and South Korea-U.S. CooperationExperts from academia and the policy world will discuss the ongoing human rights crisis in North Korea, with a focus on the roles of the South Korean and United States governments in addressing this issue. The conference will also explore the human rights implications of North Korea’s response to the massive coronavirus outbreak in the country as well as China’s complicity in North Korea’s human rights abuses. Against this backdrop, the event will emphasize the role that the South Korean and United States special envoys for North Korean human rights can play in engaging the North Korean regime on human rights issues. This is especially important given that the Biden administration still has yet to fill the position of a Special Envoy on North Korean Human Rights—a position mandated by the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004.
