Origin, Process, and Outcome of China’s Reforms in the Past One Hundred Years: The Chinese Quest for National Rejuvenation

“Almost all of the Western scholarly works on China’s reform tend to argue that China has made only economic, not political, reforms, meaning democratization. Wang, however, portrays a quite different picture: the ruling Communist Party has essentially transformed itself, albeit gradually, into a multi-class party, including the capitalist class. Non-communist figures also hold posts at various levels of governance; the National People’s Congress, once a rubberstamp, has grown some real teeth; and local level democratic elections have become institutionalized. Although these movements toward democracy are “limited,” the key is, according to Wang, that the trend will not be reversed . . .” – Dr. Yu Bin, Shanghai Association of American Studies

“Based on extensive multi-archival research, the author of the book moves this study away from the usual American-centered approach and instead looks into the relatively neglected inner cycle of the Chinese politics and government, which have defined the characteristics of Beijing’s foreign policy and determined from time to time the nature of the China-U.S. relationship.” – Prof. Xiaobing Li, University of Central Oklahoma
