Description
Through anecdotes and profiles, Butterfield dissects the cliches about China--the repression, the official corruption, and the popular disenchantment with the Communists that helped form the background for the Tiananmen demonstrations.Tags

One of the more engaging accounts of China in the 1980s. Not sure there would be much reason to read it today, however, after several lifetimes have passed.
