Yang Jisheng | Political Struggles in the Era of Reform in China

Political Struggles in the Era of Chinese Reform (Revised Edition) Does China really need political reform? Why has the topic of political reform become a hot topic of discussion today, and may even trigger a new political struggle? This book tells us: If you want to understand why, you must understand the political struggles in China after Mao Zedong’s death, you must know the detailed process of the game between Hu Yaobang, Zhao Ziyang and the elders of the political arena, and you must understand the inside story of the political struggles before and after “June Fourth”.

Based on a lot of valuable information and interviews with many high-level insiders, he published this book six years ago, which was very popular. Zhao Ziyang read it at the last moment of his life and gave it a high evaluation. But the author is not satisfied with the shortcomings of this book. He has collected information from various sources, added and deleted, and added a lot of first-hand information. The author is also not limited by his own political inclinations.
