About this title

Synopsis

Based on confidential Chinese Communist Party files, offers an inside look at the leading political issues under debate and the new group of "Fourth Generation" leaders to take office following the party's 16th Congress in November, 2002.

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
