| Summary: | "This book provides a likely blow-by-blow account of how the Chinese Communist Party will be removed from power and how a new democracy will be born." "In more than half a century of rule, the Chinese Communist Party has turned a poor and benighted China into a moderately well off and increasingly influential nation. Yet the Party has failed to keep pace with change since stepping aside from daily life in the late 1970s. After nearly a hundred years of frustrating attempts to create a workable political system following the overthrow of the last dynasty, the prospects for democracy in China are better than ever, according to Bruce Gilley."--BOOK JACKET. |
