Made in Taiwan

A naive young Brit arrives in China and is drawn into a spiralling web of espionage, blackmail and geopolitical intrigue that follows him all the way to Taiwan.

A bright but hopelessly out-of-his-depth Brit arrives in Beijing for a dream job and stumbles straight into a chaotic mix of surveillance, blackmail and very bad decisions. Packed off to Taiwan to keep him out of trouble, he must muddle through shady allies, confused loyalties and rising global tension, all while trying to pretend he knows what he is doing.
