Çlex acaba de mudarse al pueblo de Malrollito y dicen que su casa ¡ESTA ENCANTADA! ¿Te imaginas vivir en un hotel con un portal mágico? ¿Y que los fantasmas se paseen a sus anchas mientras disfrutan de unos días en el Más Acá? ¿Enseñarle a Cleopatra cómo funciona internet? ¿Tener que pasarte horas tirándole la pelotita a un perro inmortal o compartir habitación con un fantasma cascarrabias que tiene más años que el sol? ¡Menuda locura!

The untold story of the mysterious family dynasty at the center of China’s Huawei. On December 1, 2018, Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of China’s most powerful company, Huawei Technologies, was detained at the request of U.S. authorities as she prepared to board a flight out of Vancouver, Canada. The detention of Huawei’s female scion set the U.S.-China trade skirmish on fire— and, for the first time, revealed the Ren family’s prominence in Beijing’s power structure. In The Listening State, acclaimed Washington Post reporter Eva Dou exposes the untold story of the rise of Ren Zhengfei and the mysterious family dynasty at the center of Huawei, whose connections to state apparatus reveal a deeper truth about China’s surveillance web and its global ambitions. Through its technologies, Huawei has helped solidify and enforce China’s growing police state, in which outspoken entrepreneurs like Jack Ma have been silenced, tycoons have disappeared, and executives must put patriotism above profit.

Forced to reveal the secret she’s kept for years, Camille tells Verity the truth one day: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesn’t know it.
