Today we look at the power of the Chinese government. The first book, How I Survived A Chinese Reeducation Camp, is by Gulbahar Haitiwaji, a Uyghur woman who spent years in a detention camp. It s a stark account of human rights atrocities. Haitiwaji told NPR s Scott Simon she feels lucky because millions of people are still suffering. Next is an interview with Chinese businessman Desmond Shum about his book Red Roulette. It s the story of his wife s disappearance and then reappearance. Shum told NPR s Steve Inskeep that when she resurfaced he felt like he was "negotiating with her kidnapper."
