About this title

Synopsis

This volume documents a turning point in the Chinese communist revolution that elevates Deng to a role equal to that of Mao. Michael Marti explores post-Tiananmen domestic political wrangling and focuses on Deng's efforts to link all the major elements of society - the PLA, the Party, the revolutionary elders and the regional governors - into a coalition whose survival depends on the success of his economic policies. Understanding this sense of commitment to China's long-term goals has significant implications for predicting the outcome of the struggle between the hardliners and reformers. By providing a new interpretation of Chinese behaviour, "China and the Legacy of Den Xiaoping" adds to the debate among policy makers and academicians over the future direction of Chinese policy.
