Krátky popis
A leading historian of modern China. He is a rare scholar, adept in
both Russian and Chinese . .. Combined with this linguistic skill,
Dik tter has a writer's gift EVENING STANDARD&,nbsp,From the
Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao's Great Famine, a timely
and compelling account of China in the wake of Chairman Mao In
China After Mao, award-winning historian Frank Dik tter explores
how the People s Republic of China was transformed from a backwater
economy in the 1970s into the world superpower of today. His
account is the first to be based on hundreds of previously unseen
archival documents, from the secret minutes of top party meetings
to confidential bank reports.Unfolding with great narrative sweep,
this riveting, richly detailed chronicle recasts our understanding
of an era that both the regime and foreign admirers celebrate as an
economic miracle. In charting four decades of so-called Reform and
Opening Up and China s emergence as a world power, Dik tter tells a
fascinating tale of contradictions and illusions, of shadow
banking, anti-corruption drives and extreme state wealth standing
alongside everyday poverty. He examines China s approach to the
2008 financial crash, the country s increasing hostility towards
perceived Western interference and its development into a
thoroughly entrenched dictatorship one equipped with a sprawling
security apparatus and the most sophisticated surveillance system
in the world.Ultimately, the book concludes, the communist party s
goal was never to join the democratic sphere, but to resist it and
then defeat it. Praise for Frank Dik tter:&,nbsp,It will be
increasingly difficult for Western China specialists to write with
authority based only on previous Western publications or on Chinese
public statements. We remain in Frank Dik tter s debt LITERARY
