Items related to China's New Rulers: The Secret Files
Synopsis
This work lifts the lid on the rotten state of politics in the late communist era of China. The book is closely based on classified internal Chinese Communist Party documents, which demonstrate that personality-based decisions continue to dominate Chinese politics. It contains important and compelling information about the new generation of leaders who assumed office in October 2002, and who are expected to move China further toward a market economy and align it more closely with the United States.

From the Inside Flap
"With each passing year, China and its mandarinate become a little less opaque. The reports summarized in this volume represent another giant step forward in penetrating the old veil of secrecy that once shrouded China and its political processes with a virtually impenetrable screen. Whatever may follow, these documents provide a fascinating look behind that screen and help us understand how China's leaders interact and govern this most consequential of countries."
--Orville Schell, Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism, UC Berkeley
