Summary
Much is written about the Chinese Communist Party, but without exploring the nature of the party and how it operates. This book provides an assessment of the current state of the Chinese Communist Party and demonstrates how embedded it is in all aspects of Chinese economy, society and politics, and how its position continues to be consolidated.
