New Book Showcases How ‘Wilful Blindness’ to CCP-Connected Crime Operations Harms Western Democracies
Investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s new book “Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West” offers an in-depth look on how massive international crime networks are targeting democracies worldwide and how authorities in some cases have been looking away.
The book follows Cooper’s investigation of suspicious money-laundering activities in Vancouver’s casinos. Following the money trails, Cooper uncovers the intricate connections between drug trafficking organizations in Canada, Hong Kong triad gangs, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The book covers how criminal proceedings fuelled an opioid crisis in Canada while driving real estate costs so high to make them unaffordable for many, and how in many cases the hands of law enforcement officials were tied due to pressure from politicians.
