Review Quotes:
Praise for The Coming Collapse of China by Gordon G. Chang
"A compelling account of the rot in China's institutions and the forces at work to end the Communist Party's monopoly on power."
―James A. Dorn, Cato Institute, Washington D.C., co-editor of China's Future: Constructive Partner or Emerging Threat?
"Quite simply the best book I know about China's future. Gordon Chang writes marvelously and knows China well. I hope everyone concerned with that country will pay careful consideration to what he sees ahead."
―Arthur Waldron, Director of Asian Studies, American Enterprise Institute; Lauder Professor of International Relations, University of Pennsylvania
"A sobering look at how the unique Chinese experiment of market reforms under one-party dictatorship could go wrong. The author has combined first-hand experience with painstaking research. The often gloomy picture of the violent clashes between the forces of change and those of reaction is relieved by lively anecdotes and witty storytelling. A tour de force not to be missed."
―Willy Wo-Lap Lam, Senior China Analyst at CNN's Hong Kong office and author of The Era of Jiang Zemin
"Damning data and persuasive arguments that should set some Communist knees a-knocking."
―Kirkus Reviews
"Gordon Chang takes us on a vividly observed voyage behind the scenes of China's so-called economic miracle, where it turns out that institutions are shaky, relationships corrupt, and success precarious. Chinese society is seething with unrest, and the ruling party is split. Chang has lived and done business in China for years. He is not afraid of making boldjudgments. When he warns that China's two centuries of troubles are still not over, we had better take notice."
―Andrew J. Nathan, Professor of Political Science, Columbia University; Co-Editor, The Tiananmen Papers
