Book excerpt: Praise for 44 Days:What if Alexis de Tocqueville were fluent in Mandarin and traveling through China by backpack and bullet train? He would record every encounter and analyze China’s national character with remarkable lucidity. He would produce a book full of telling insights that functioned like a five-dimensional chess game. It would be a guide book, travel companion, memoir, political history, and plain-old-pleasure for someone who likes their prose with pith in it. Oklahoma’s latter-day Tocqueville, Jeff J. Brown, is one hell of a good story teller, and traveling with him deep into China is an adventure not to be missed. Thomas Bass, Author of The Spy Who Loved Us, Vietnamerica, Camping with the Prince, Reinventing the Future, and The Eudaemonic Pie. "44 Days" is a delightful romp through a changing China and Jeff Brown is an excellent guide.John Pomfret, author of Chinese Lessons: Five Classmates and the Story of the New China "44 Days" is a fascinating exploration of the people of China, and the land in which they live. Brown is very knowledgeable of China's government and the country's millennia-old history. He obviously enjoys not just his travels but the people he meets. While he journeys, we journey with him. Jeff Brown is an intelligent, articulate and entertaining writer and 44 Days is absolutely enthralling. I highly recommend it. Mick Winter, author of Cuba for the Misinformed: Facts from the Forbidden Island Much more than just a travelogue, 44 Days is an intimate dialogue with China’s peoples, their histories, regions, economies, cultures, work, foods and future. Unabashedly iconoclastic and a contrarian’s delight, Jeff brings down many a golden calf, as he writes as few travelers do - putting China’s relations and rapid arc of development in perspective with the United States and Europe, making 44 Days a fascinating and unique approach to today’s critically important world affairs. Traveling over 12,000km by train and bus, walking hundreds more, while climbing a few of those in vertical ascent, join Jeff as he reports from the ground up on the greatest socioeconomic transformation ever seen, 21st century China – our planet’s soon to be greatest superpower. How will Baba Beijing, China’s central government behave, while honoring its 2,200 year old Heavenly Mandate for 20% of the human race? After 500 years of being masters of the world, what will the great historical Industrial Age powers do in response - adapt or lash out? All of our standards of living and lifestyles, even our species’ survival, depend on these soon to be events. Funny, enlightening & with an eye for the right details, 44 Days provides unique perspectives to these new century issues. It will keep you amused and thinking, as Jeff takes you traveling in, across and over five wild and wooly Western China provinces, face to face with the local people. Includes 125+ photos, maps and charts. Read less

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Book to Explain China's Success: Talent at the Top, Data in the Middle, Democracy at the Bottom. The Coronavirus epidemic triggered a change of the global balance of power: by the end of 2020 there were more hungry children, more poor, homeless, drug addicted, and imprisoned people in America than in China. Why China Leads the World investigates why the epidemic accelerated the change of global leadership and examines China's bigger, steadier economy, its leadership in science, stronger military, more powerful allies, and wider diplomatic support. Crammed with charts, footnotes, and quotes, it is a profoundly disturbing book, but one that helps you understand the tectonic shift, adapt to this new era, and thrive in it. China's grand strategy is simple: create a home for the world's happiest people, establish the world's best diplomatic relationships, its strongest economy, healthiest environment, most powerful military, newest technologies, and best human rights record. At that point, the world's hearts and minds will follow.

Book excerpt: "Without exaggeration, this may be the most important book you read in years. The end of the Western-dominated era is arriving. Mighty rebellion is brewing. Three great countries: China, Russia and Iran, are now firmly at the forefront of the great struggle for better and truly free world. Jeff J. Brown has amassed amazing evidence, and he proves it again and again, how progressive, humanist and reasonable China really is, the most populous country on Earth. His conclusion is clear: China is Communist! It is, despite what Western propaganda keeps regurgitating. China is Communist, and it is extremely 'successful', not just successful economically, but above all socially, culturally and morally. 'China is Communist, Dammit! Dawn of the Red Dynasty' is perhaps the best book written about this country in years. It will help to build bridges and disperse fears. It will smash all the empty stereotypes and cliches to pieces. It will put things into proper perspective. It will explain China to all those people living around the world, who somehow manage to retain an open mind and a thirst for knowledge. It could even prevent a new and devastating war. Like China's journey back, towards its well-deserved prominence, the author's book is part of this extremely important process; it is not the final word. Jeff J. Brown has produced a masterpiece, and many more will undoubtedly follow!" - Andre Vltchek Author of 'Exposing Lies of the Empire' and 'Aurora'

This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHINA RISING, the latest book by the author of 44 Days Backpacking in China: The Middle Kingdom in the 21st Century, with the United States, Europe and the Fate of the World in Its Looking Glass, one of the most engaging political travelogues in recent memory, is a comprehensive, absorbing, eye-opening guide to China in the 21st century, a volume which in 700 pp packs it all: history, personal memory, sociology, political analysis. and above all a fair dose of invaluable first-hand information designed to detoxify the Western reader's mind from the constant lies served by the Western media in support of Washington's global imperial agenda. The result is a thorough rectification, a "deprogramming" of just about everything we, as Westerners, have been "taught" to believe about China, allowing us to see the Chinese people and their leaders as they really are—ordinary human beings just like us with dreams, foibles, defects and a proud history extending millennia, a people that in a century have overcome just about every scourge known to man: famines, massive drug addiction, civil wars, invasions, grinding poverty and humiliation, to become one of the great powers of this century, perhaps the greatest, and which today, much as a result of its success, is facing the undying hostility of the world's hegemon, the United States, itching for a confrontation to reassert imperial control. It is thus indispensable for Westerners and Asians to know the truth of the situation, what their governments are doing (led by the USA) behind their backs, if the planet is to be spared a nuclear conflict of incalculable horror.. For, as Brown indicates, China will not back down this time, and neither will Russia, her strategic ally, who faces the same type of constant harassment and bullying by the West, also for having the audacity to defend her sovereignty and set her own foreign policy course. The truth therefore must come out about key events, from the so-called "Tiananmen Massacre", organized by the CIA, to who Mao Zedong really was and did, a role for which he earned the love of his countrymen to this day. It's a big job, but the author, an American fluent in Chinese, a teacher by profession, and with 15 years residence in the Middle Kingdom, and a cosmopolitan background, is eminently qualified to meet the task. Andre Vltchek, himself a truth-teller of distinction, and a man who, like Jeff Brown knows China well, has endorsed CHINA RISING as a unique instrument of mind liberation. Vltchek words are worth heeding: "The Western public should learn and remember one essential thing about China: no matter what European and North American propaganda barks about the People’s Republic, China is much more “democratic” than the West. It is democratic in its own way. For thousands of years, it developed its own political system. Its rulers, no matter who they are, are given a conditional right to govern by the people. In the past, but even now it is called a “Heavenly Mandate”. If the rulers fail to respect the will of the people, they get deposed. And the Communist Party of China is greatly respectful of the desires of the majority of the Chinese people. When they want liberal reforms, they are delivered. When they want more Communism and an epic fight against corruption, like now, China’s government immediately reacts. It is powerful and democratic, although it is a very specific and complex arrangement. And now, the Chinese people are outraged and they are sending clear signals to Beijing: “do not succumb to the West.” “If you do, our nation will suffer immensely, and the rest of the world will turn to ashes.” The fate of the world hangs in the balance and only truth can prevent a global catastrophe.

Book excerpt: "The breadth of knowledge and content Man integrates into the narrative (art history, world geography, mythology, and literature) is ambitious and often captivating.

Brown, author of the China Trilogy: 44 Days Backpacking in China, China Rising, and China is Communist Dammit.Synopsis: Victoria is a Canadian teenager living in a small town in Ontario. When her adoptive parents are killed in a car crash, she goes on a perilous journey to China to find her biological parents and to uncover the truth of her mysterious background. David, an antique dealer, helps Victoria evade the pursuing men in black known as the Watchers. Victoria learns about an ancient Oracle of the Apocalypse from Shang, China's first historical dynasty. It presages a cataclysmic catastrophe described as the Stopping-of-the-Sun. David belongs to a group of secret Shang descendants who call themselves the Guardian of the Oracle. They believe that Victoria has the power to save the world. David will spare no efforts, do everything in his power, and pay any price to make sure Victoria does not fall into the hands of the Watchers. David uses advanced Virtual Reality technology to take Victoria to crucial historical inflexion points, showing her how Shang descendants have shaped Chinese history all the way to the present day. Victoria witnesses the sudden collapse of the Shang dynasty, the unification of China by the Qin Emperor, the peasant rebellion and the first empress of China that made the Han name a legacy to this day, the improbable rise of the Tang concubine who became the only female Emperor of China, the bloodless coup of the secret Shang descendant who became the emperor of Song, the incredibly implausible rise of the beggar monk who became the emperor of Ming, the last battle of the Opium War that revealed the Qing Emperor had no clothes, and the decisive Huai'hai Campaign of the Chinese Civil War won by peasants against the greatest of odds. Victoria learns the core value of the Chinese civilization which makes it enduring. She is astonished to learn of the royal Shang lineage of Confucius, and the Shang connections of major Chinese corporations such as Huawei. Victoria discovers that her natural parents are extraordinary historical people. Nothing is what it seems. Prepare to be amazed!
