One of the book's authors says a defamation lawsuit by businessman Stephen Perry, who advocates closer ties to Beijing, has put its publication on hold

A defamation lawsuit by businessman Stephen Perry, seen here, left, meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Oct. 16, 2018, has put the book's publication on hold.Australian academic Clive Hamilton says a legal challenge by a wealthy British businessman who advocates closer economic and diplomatic ties to Beijing has halted the release in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom of his new book, which is critical of the Chinese Communist Party.

After seeing excerpts from the German edition, Mr. Perry has gone to court to stop the publication of the book in the U.K., Canada and anywhere else, according to Mr. Hamilton. “The letter claims the book defames Perry and the 48 Group Club and quotes various parts of the book, translated from the German edition. We stand by our research, which is meticulously documented. All of the claims are rebuffed, and we reject any suggestion that the book is contrary to defamation law and we will be replying in due time.”
