Klappentext This book reflects the author's extensive research and thoughtful examination of many sides of controversial issues related to contemporary China. It is distinct from other studies on this subject in that the author is committed to examining today's China from Chinese as well as Western perspectives. Chinese vs. Western Perspectives: Understanding Contemporary China is a wonderful insider look from outside China. Unlike most Western scholars writing about China, Jinghao Zhou lived in China for the most part of his adult life and knows the Chinese culture and politics intimately. After teaching and living in the U.S. for many years, he is also able to see China from a distance. As a result, he has a unique perspective on China. His book represents one of the best scholarship in the field. -- Dongping Hon, professor of history and political science, Warren Wilson College The book provides a comprehensive and insightful narrative of the multifaceted stories of contemporary China. Its examination of the paradoxes and dilemmas of the Chinese experience, placed within a historical context as well as an analytical framework, is a valuable addition to the existing literature in the field of China Studies. -- Sun Yi, professor of history, University of San Diego Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface Acknowledgments 1.
