Political China: Towards an Era of Choices for a New System

This book is a collection of writings from the late 1990s regarding political system reform in China. The editors state in the afterword: “This book has collected nearly all, if not all, of the articles discussing political system reform in recent years. From this, we can see the research achievements and level of people’s understanding of political system reform in recent years.”

The articles in the book cover a wide range of topics, from political system reform to democracy, the rule of law, constitutional government, freedom, rights, and economics. Although the articles in the book were all published independently before, Political China was soon banned by the authorities after its publication, and the Today China Publishing House soon shut down under official pressure.
