The political situations in Burma, Thailand, and Hong Kong are radically different. Yet, many young activists and exiles from these regions feel that their struggles are connected. How do these activists, each facing their unique situations, find common ground and sustain one another? For The Milk Tea Alliance: Inside Asia’s Struggle Against Autocracy and Beijing, historian Jeffrey Wasserstrom traveled globally to interview members of this loosely constituted alliance, finding them united by the rising influence of a common adversary—the Chinese Communist Party.

“A story of resilient defiance against not just local oppression but the expanding shadow of Xi Jinping’s China—a defining battle of the twenty-first century.” —Evan Osnos
