The inside story of the men who are ready and waiting to take over China's Politburo. Based on Zong Hairen's 'Disidai' (The Fourth Generation).
This important and timely book will lift the lid on the state of politics in the late communist era in China. It is closely based on classified internal Chinese Communist Party documents, which demonstrate that personality-based decisions continue to dominate Chinese politics.
The book contains important and compelling information about the new generation of leaders who will assume office in October 2002 and who are expected to move China further towards a market economy and align it more closely with the US. It provides fascinating and crucial insights into the individuals themselves and gives an unprecedented glimpse of the balance of power between them.
