Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping
Renowned for his coverage of China's elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping--General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since November 2012. With rare insight, Lam describes Xi's personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the country's likely future directions under the charismatic "princeling." Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his r...
Chinese Politics in the Hu Jintao Era: New Leaders, New Challenges
Drawing on hundreds of interviews with top Chinese officials, parliamentarians, scholars, and businessmen, Willy Lam, a renowned journalist and writer on Chinese affairs, presents a first-hand, multi-dimensional account of twenty-first century China and the impact of fourth generation leaders, including President Hu Jinato and Premier Wen Jiabao. Lam goes behind the glitzy facade of nouveau-riche Beijing and Shanghai to examine how the Hu leadership has tried to extend the Communist Party's "mandate of heaven" by tackling an array of daunting problems: the weakening legitimacy of the Party's leadership; restive peasants; angry workers; political stagnation over the lack of reform; foreign re...
Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Communist Party
Whilst the Chinese Communist Party is one of the most powerful political institutions in the world, it is also one of the least understood, due to the party’s secrecy and tight control over the archives, the press and the Internet. Having governed the People’s Republic of China for nearly 70 years though, much interest remains into how this quintessentially Leninist party governs one-fifth of the world and runs the world’s second-largest economy. The Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Communist Party gives a comprehensive and multi-faceted picture of the party’s traditions and values – as well as its efforts to stay relevant in the twenty-first century. It uses a wealth of contempor...
China After Deng Xiaoping
China After Deng Xiaoping This book gives bold and thought-provoking answers to the question "What will happen after Deng Xiaoping’s death?" by analysing major political and economic trends in China since the June 4, 1989 crackdown. The intriguing career of patriarch Deng after the Tiananmen Square massacre — and his place in history — is assessed with the help of previously unpublished internal documents and hundreds of interviews with key players. The lively story-telling and incisive judgements are buttressed by generous quotations from the speeches and writings of the politicians who will shape China’s future. China After Deng Xiaoping looks at developments in six crucial areas f...
The Era of Jiang Zemin
As China increasingly becomes an economic powerhouse, Westerners are faced with the challenge of understanding how Chinese business people do business. In order to do so, they must understand not only how China is modernizing, but also five thousand years of underlying Chinese culture. Confucian ethics, Taoist influences, and classics like Sun Zi's Art of War still offer powerful insights. One key influence long overlooked in the West is the "Thirty-Six Strategies": a summary of the key war strategies used by ancient Chinese warriors, which is widely known in China and frequently applied in business, by Chinese business people and others throughout Asia. This book brings these strategies to the West, offering unique and timely insight into the mind of the Chinese strategist. This book presents insightful, thoughtful discussions of all 36 strategies, with examples of how they might be used by Asian business people. The strategies encompass leveraging advantage, exploiting vulnerabilities; offensive strategies; deception, confusion, and what to do when desperate. This book bridges the gap of understanding between East and West -- and it has never been more timely.
The Fight for China's Future
This book throws light on the quintessence of 21st Century Chinese politics through the prism of the struggle between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China's vibrant intelligentsia and civil society. Itexamines Xi Jinping's multi-dimensional, AI-enabled police-state apparatus and explores the CCP's policy towards civil society.
China's Quasi-Superpower Diplomacy
This report looks at China's much-enhanced projection of hard and soft power, particularly ways in which Beijing is waging quasi-superpower diplomacy to bolster the country's preeminence in the new world order. The diplomatic and geopolitical implications of China's precipitous rise are thoroughly appraised. 2009 will go down in history as a watershed for the epochal expansion of China's global influence. With its economy predicted to grow at 8 percent despite the world financial crisis, the People's Republic of China is widely regarded as a prime locomotive for economic recovery worldwide. The People's Liberation Army is building nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, and the country's first astronaut is expected to set foot on the moon before 2015. Taking advantage of the damage that the financial crisis has dealt the American laissez-faire system, the Chinese Communist Party is also gunning for a novel international financial architecture, or one that is not dominated by the United States.
Changing of the Guard
This report details the major generational changes that will take place in the party and state leadership at the 18th Chinese Communist Party Congress, set for October 2012. While Fifth-Generation leaders such as Vice President Xi Jinping remain poised to accede to the position of general secretary and state president--and First Vice- Premier Li Keqiang will succeed Wen Jiabao as premier--General Secretary and President Hu Jintao has been personally overseeing the transition of power to Fifth- and Sixth-Generation cadres (a reference to officials born respectively in the 1950s and 1960s). The report examines elite Chinese politics, especially factional intrigue and the grooming of China's next leadership corps, in the runup to and after the 18th Party Congress.
