Synopsis

Headline: WARNING: Reading this book in Beijing could get you "invited for tea" by the police.

Body: What does Winnie the Pooh, a Mercedes-Benz, and a 2952-vote election have in common? They are all things Xi Jinping hates.

Welcome to Volume 1 of the New China Jokes Series. In this opening dossier, Agent 007 takes aim at the very top of the pyramid: the "Emperor" himself.

Inside this book, you will find the sharpest political satire circulating in the Chinese underground—jokes that are deleted from the internet within seconds of being posted. These are the stories that make officials sweat and ordinary people chuckle in secret.

Inside this Top Secret Dossier:

  • The Emperor’s New Clothes: Why the leader is always right, even when he’s wrong.

  • The Sycophants: How officials survive by clapping the loudest.

  • The Constitution: A document with a remarkably short shelf life.

  • Visual Rebellion: Featuring 20+ original, gritty, black-and-white Banksy-style illustrations.

This isn't just a book. It's a literary grenade thrown at the glass house of authoritarianism. Perfect for fans of George Orwell's 1984, distinct political satire, or anyone who believes that laughter is the ultimate act of rebellion.

"The Soviets had their jokes. Now, we have ours."
