High-profile Australian academic banned from entering China

'Silent Invasion,' for those who have not read it, is a Taiwan-funded paranoid rant about PRC 'influence' (undefined but bad) on Australians and their country. Clive Hamilton was not and is not a China scholar, or China expert, or even knowledgeable about the country, and it shows. The book kicked off a national campaign by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization coordinated with American and Five Eyes security services that have stirred much misunderstanding and caused considerable damage to international relationships. The knock-on effects of books like Hamilton's are likely to be recessions in the Five Eyes countries and hysterical laughter elsewhere.
