In Crab and Frog Motion Paradigm Shift, Peter Kien-hong Yu presents a dialectical approach to the study of Chinese (Communist) politics. Yu demonstrates that the application of non-dialectical approaches to the study of Chinese politics over the last eighty years is misguided, due to ample evidence showing that Chinese political figures made use of a particular version of dialectics in their thought and actions.
