Summary:

"This book makes a compelling case for the continuing strength of China's one-party system, showing that most Chinese, influenced by China's traditional culture and even more so by the regime's Soviet ideology, institutions, and modus operandi, are choosing security, stability, and prosperity over democracy"-- Provided by publisher.
