China today is rife with contradictions: it’s a peasant society with futuristic cities, an ancient civilization striving for a modern identity.

Covering a range of topics from China’s economic boom and its record on freedom to the Beijing Olympics and the position of women in society, Modern China is an indispensable starting point for anyone striving to understand the world’s most populous nation.
