Description

This book examines key events in modern Chinese history to question the notion of historical inevitability and stresses the role of contingent circumstances. The constant change and diversity of Chinese society contrasts the persistence of a unitary autocratic state and suggest a key lesson in history is that China will continue to surprise us.
