Description

China After Deng Xiaoping "…An excellent new study of post-Tiananmen China." "He [the author] is extremely skillful at using both official and unofficial sources to show that..... despite the bland assurances of ‘stability and unity,’ politics in China is a serious business of finding compromises between different interest groups, competing ideologies and alternative visions of the future." "What emerges is a far more nuanced account of factional struggle in the Communist party than the caricature we normally encounter, of a struggle between good and evil, or ‘reformers vs conservatives.’" Asian Wall Street Journal "Lam is among the best Hong Kong-based China watchers. He is a knowledgeable, close-up observer and a provocative writer. He presents sharp analyses of events and makes bold judgements." Far Eastern Economic Review "One of the most valuable [works on post-Deng China] is this latest study by one of Hong Kong’s most informed political journalists. This is a consummate China watcher’s book....... for anyone who seriously wants to understand what is happening in Chinese politics, it is indispensable." Asiaweek, the Asian Newsweekly "A renowned China specialist, Lam’s views are valued by the international media. The author’s insightful analysis is based on interviews with senior Communist-Chinese officials and the study of internal party documents. His book includes discussions of Chinese politics, economic reform, the future role of the People’s Liberation Army, and Deng Xiaoping’s legacy." United Daily News, Taipei
