Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Chinese have always believed that the country is safe only when the center is strong. A weak center means confusion and chaos, while a strong center leads to a peaceful and prosperous China. #2 The Communist Party still retains its hold over China. The state security apparatus is able to nip any unrest in the bud, but it is also able to take the side of villagers against corrupt local officials.
#3 China's economy has grown significantly, and the country will continue to do so over the next few decades. Militarily, it will make big strides and develop the technology and capabilities that will allow it to protect its power. #4 The Chinese government is likely to move towards a more participatory form of government. They will not allow free-for-all elections, but they will allow controlled electoral contests between candidates approved by the Party.
