Book Synopsis China's Leaders by : David Shambaugh
Download or read book China's Leaders written by David Shambaugh and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China over 70 years ago, five paramount leaders have shaped the fates and fortunes of the nation and the ruling Chinese Communist Party: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. Under their leaderships, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation from an undeveloped and insular country to a comprehensive world power. In this definitive study, renowned Sinologist David Shambaugh offers a refreshing account of China’s dramatic post-revolutionary history through the prism of those who ruled it. Exploring the persona, formative socialization, psychology, and professional experiences of each leader, Shambaugh shows how their differing leadership styles and tactics of rule shaped China domestically and internationally: Mao was a populist tyrant, Deng a pragmatic Leninist, Jiang a bureaucratic politician, Hu a technocratic apparatchik, and Xi a modern emperor. Covering the full scope of these leaders’ personalities and power, this is an illuminating guide to China’s modern history and understanding how China has become the superpower of today.

And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a “needle inside a ball of cotton,” Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China’s radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao’s cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China’s growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Deng’s youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920s, among a group of Chinese student-workers that also included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in 1927 to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China’s preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao—and he did not hesitate.

Download or read book Chen Village Under Mao and Deng written by Anita Chan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chen Village, the enthralling account of a Chinese village in the throes of the Maoist revolution, has become a modern classic. Now the authors have returned to Chen Village to bring the village's tumultuous story up to the nineties. Chen Village Under Mao and Deng includes not only the bulk of the original text of Chen Village, but also three new chapters on village life under Deng: gripping descriptions of the village leader's purge, the rapid industrialization of the district, an alienated "lost generation" of young peasants, and the new village officials' legal and illegal efforts at self-enrichment. Readers who enjoyed Chen Village will be doubly fascinated by the ironic twists and turns of recent events among the Chens.
Book Synopsis Propaganda and Culture in Mao's China by : Timothy Cheek
Download or read book Propaganda and Culture in Mao's China written by Timothy Cheek and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of Deng Tuo (1912-1966) is a social history of intellectuals as agents in China's socialist revolution. It places Deng Tuo's writings and ideas in the rich context of his social experience as a member of the Communist bureaucracy and as an elite artist and aesthete. The tension between service to politics and service to culture was ultimately disasterous for Deng and for China's revolution: his ghost haunts the halls of power in Beijing today.
Book Synopsis China After Deng Xiaoping by : Willy Wo-Lap Lam
Download or read book China After Deng Xiaoping written by Willy Wo-Lap Lam and published by . This book was released on 1995-08-08 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 from 1989 to late 1994, and forecasts their progress into the next decade: a) Deng Xiaoping’s contributions and legacy; b) economic reform, the quasi-capitalist road, and the rules of the game in the socialist market economy; c) the residual influence of the Maoists; d) the expanding role of the People’s Liberation Army; e) political reform and the future of the Chinese Communist Party; f) the post-Deng Xiaoping leadership, tension between Beijing and the regions, and the rise of private entrepreneurs. China After Deng Xiaoping examines the crisis-ridden country that Deng will leave behind. After the June 4 tragedy, Deng made valiant efforts to "mend heaven" by resuscitating economic reform. By early 1995, China seemed on the threshold of integration with the global economic order. However, the political system remains feudal and corrupt. Economic liberalisation has reached a bottleneck. The socio-economic costs of reform are becoming prohibitive unless commensurate steps are taken to modernise the political structure. Will Deng’s anointed successors — led by President Jiang Zemin, Premier Li Peng and Vice-Premier Zhu Rongji — shepherd the country towards a novel phase of reform? Will China take the leap into the international market place? Will the Shanghai Faction led by Jiang and Zhu continue to ride high? What role will the army play? Or has the balance of power been tipped in favor of new forces such as the regional "warlords", the private entrepreneurs and an intelligentsia that has been re-awakened by the information revolution? China After Deng Xiaoping gives clues to the outcome of the slugfest within the Communist party that will break out after the paramount leader’s demise. The book also looks at how the urge to "get rich first" has transformed the mentality of cadres as well as ordinary people. Infinite possibilities — most of them non-Marxist and non-socialist — are beckoning for those who want to embrace the opportunities of the Asia-Pacific century. A new chapter for the world’s longest-continuous civilisation opens as its last patriarch gives up the ghost.
Book Synopsis China and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping by : Michael E. Marti
Download or read book China and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping written by Michael E. Marti and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping documents a turning point in the Chinese communist revolution that elevates Deng to a role equal to that of Mao. Dr. Marti explores post-Tiananmen domestic political wrangling and offers the first documentation of 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 longterm goals has significant implications for predicting the outcome of the current struggle between the hardliners and reformers. By providing a new interpretation of Chinese behavior, China and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping adds to the current debate among policy makers and academicians over the future direction of Chinese policy.
Download or read book Burying Mao written by Richard Baum and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-28 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of Deng Xiaoping's reform initiatives, the austere and colorless collectivism of the Maoist era was supplanted by an upscale entrepreneurial ethos labeled "socialism with Chinese characteristics." For some Chinese this meant new and unprecedented opportunities for upward mobility; for others it meant rising personal vulnerability and marginalization. Today, a scant two decades after Mao's death, few traces of the Chairman's essential zeitgeist remain. Maoism, the spartan, puritanical credo fashioned by a small band of dedicated revolutionaries in the 1930s and 1940s, is moribund. - Preface.

Book Synopsis Following the Leader by : David M. Lampton
Download or read book Following the Leader written by David M. Lampton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With unique access to Chinese leaders at all levels of the party and government, best-selling author David M. Lampton tells the story of China’s political elites from their own perspectives. Based on over five hundred interviews, Following the Leader offers a rare glimpse into how the attitudes and ideas of those at the top have evolved over the past four decades. Here China’s rulers explain their strategies and ideas for moving the nation forward, share their reflections on matters of leadership and policy, and discuss the challenges that keep them awake at night. As the Chinese Communist Party installs its new president, Xi Jinping, for a presumably ten-year term, questions abound. How will the country move forward as its explosive rate of economic growth begins to slow? How does it plan to deal with domestic and international calls for political reform and to cope with an aging population, not to mention an increasingly fragmented bureaucracy and society? In this insightful book we learn how China’s leaders see the nation’s political future, as well as about its global strategic influence.
Book Synopsis China without Mao by : Immanuel C. Y. Hsu
Download or read book China without Mao written by Immanuel C. Y. Hsu and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in a new, updated edition, this groundbreaking book on post-Mao China, written by the distinguished Asian scholar Immanuel C.Y. Hs"u, explores the astonishing transformation that has occurred there. Since Mao Zedong's death in 1976, China's leaders have launched an ambitious modernization program aimed at making their nation a relatively prosperous socialist state by the year 2000. Along with the first edition's examination of the smashing of the Gang of Four, the evolution of a new order under Deng Xiaoping, the manner and costs of modernization, the normalization of relations with the United States, and the prospects for reunification with Taiwan, the second edition offers an insider's view into China's policies of accelerated economic development and opening to the outside world, adopted at a December 1978 party conference. Focusing on the cultural impact of these policies, Hs"u candidly reveals both the improved standard of living and the serious fundamental problems--including high inflation, widespread corruption, crises in leadership, loss of faith in communism, and especially the recent student protests--resulting from these recent developments. The new edition also includes a postscript which takes into account the causes and consequences of the Tian An Men Square massacre in June of 1989.
