Controversial China 'influence' book to be published

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-42954476


Australian author Prof Clive Hamilton said three publishers had declined to take on his book due to fears of legal "retaliation" from Beijing.
Wider discussion in Australia about possible Chinese influence has been dismissed by Beijing as "hysteria".
Publisher Hardie Grant said it would release the book, now titled Silent Invasion: China's Influence in Australia, after it had been rewritten to "minimise the legal risk".
Prof Hamilton told the BBC that he had earlier submitted the book to Australian lawmakers in a bid to have it published under parliamentary privilege. Such a move would give it legal protection.

    Australia population of 17 million. Just over 1% of Chinese population, is being exploited by China for its natural resources.

    Isn't having publishers refuse to publish your book because they're afraid of retaliation by China the clearest proof that the book is true?

    So what? Your post clearly states they're worried about retaliation from China, not the quality of the book.
