KAFKA IN CHINA, The People’s Republic of Corruption is the true story of the author's survival of attempted murder, torture, black jails, and fraudulent incarceration in a Shanghai mental hospital committed against the author as the result of a blurt-out to him about a large bribe allegedly paid by an iconic American company to Chinese officials. The fraudulent incarceration was accomplished with purported letters from the US Consulate General in Shanghai. The Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Joel Brinkley reported this case in depth in Politico and the San Francisco Chronicle in 2012.
The author is telling the complete story in the belief that Americans can best learn from an American what it means to be caught up in the Chinese Communist kleptocracy and thereby understand the plight of ordinary Chinese who are routinely brutalized by that regime, and further that it is unrealistic to think that China has adopted or to hope that it ever will adopt anything approximating Rule of Law under this regime.
This story also raises the following serious questions: why has the State Department refused to answer whether the purported US Consulate General letters are genuine or forgeries; whether the State Department was complicit in what happened to the author; whether the State Department covered up any involvement; whether certain US media companies refused to cover this story in order to protect their own interests.
This book is being published in parts; this volume is part one.

From the back cover:
"Rothman recounts with mastery and artful suspense his experience of two decades of going native, and of what happened when he accidentally learned too much about local customs. KAFKA IN CHINA is a Kafkaesque story of resistance to the evils of state control, when even one’s own country is in on the hunt. It sends chills down the spine of anyone doing business, or even travelling, abroad."
- R. Howard Bloch Sterling Professor of French, Yale University
"For a personal account of one Westerner's abuse in modern-day China, Rothman's chilling and beautifully written memoir is essential reading."
- Lew Spratlan Composer, Pulitzer Prize in Music
"This is an extraordinary book about the dark side of China that our American media and government have done so much to cover over. This is a must read."
- Williamson Murray Professor Emeritus of Military History, Ohio State University

As a Freshman at Yale College he began his study of Chinese history which became his principal academic pursuit. In 1980, just after China opened to foreign trade and investment, he was recruited to work for a major multinational to manage projects in China and throughout Asia and Eastern Europe.

The tone of mainstream western comment is that, though China has a flawed political system, things are getting better and that in any case the Chinese economy is too important globally for us to question Chinese motives too critically.This disturbing book is the true story of the ordeal of a Mandarin speaking, US lawyer - based for many years in Beijing and Shanghai. Working on a business deal, Rothman uncovers corruption and blocks it. Soon he finds that previously reliable and helpful Chinese, like his housekeeper, are conspiring against him. They plan to wreck his health or drive him out of his mind. They come close to success, in no small part because of the incompetence or collusion of American officialdom. But through stubborn determination, Rothman lives to leave China and tell his story.The book reads like a novel but is documented and presented like a legal brief. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the real and ugly truth about today's China.

Rothman Pulls Back the Curtain on China By Jilian Coleman Wheeler Most of us in the west have observed the emergence of capitalism in China with interest. After decades of repressive government, the horrors of the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen Square massacre, we hope that China may finally be loosening the restraints on its citizens. Kafka in China takes us behind the facade of today's China, and reveals that while the optics may have shifted, the oppression has not.In part one of his new book, author Warren Rothman details his own experience of being detained in a Chinese "mental hospital." As an American attorney working on joint ventures between the two countries, Rothman felt invincible. He is fluent in Mandarin and intensively studied Chinese history at Yale, and he loves the country. Then one day a Chinese associate carelessly disclosed to Rothman a secret he should never have known, and that set into motion a terrifying cascade of consequences.This is a fascinating book, and I cannot wait to read the next installment.

This Yale-educated lawyer worked and lived in China for years,mastering the language and negotiating a happy life in an ancient exotic country. But despite surface calm and exciting experiences, the undercurrent of corruption and sinister plots were not far enough away. This is the first of a trilogy planned by Rothman, and after the terror of his opening chapter, he spends the rest of the book detailing his life and the insidious appearance of evil forces. The book is an easy interesting read, despite where it is heading. It portrays a country emerging into a modern world without losing its stranglehold on the players.
