The Fight for China's Future Summary

The Fight for China's Future: Civil Society vs. the Chinese Communist Party by Willy Wo-Lap Lam (Chinese University of Hong Kong)

The Fight for China's Future throws light on the quintessence of 21st century Chinese politics through the prism of the struggle between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China's vibrant intelligentsia and civil society.

This book examines Xi Jinping's 24-hour, multi-dimensional, AI-enabled police-state apparatus and explores the CCP's policy towards civil society. Through exclusive interviews with activists from different provinces, it analyzes the experiences and aspirations of key stakeholders in Chinese society, especially intellectuals, human rights attorneys and Christian worshippers. Providing an examination of recent global trends in relation to CCP policies, including China's relationship with the U.S., it also goes on to explore the possible trajectories of future change.

Featuring an assessment of Xi Jinping's leadership style and the opportunities this has given certain groups to promote the rule of law, media freedom and other global norms, this book will be invaluable to students of Chinese politics, society and culture.

Minxin Pei, Claremont McKenna College

Willy Lam is a master of Chinese political analysis. His writings about China under Xi Jinping, including predictions about future socio-political developments, are always informative, penetrating and insightful.

Akio Takahara, Dean and Professor, Graduate School of Public Policy, Tokyo University

In a profoundly moving and uniquely insightful account of how Supreme Commander Xi Jinping has imposed Mao-like neo-totalitarian horrors on the Chinese people, including a global backlash against imperial over-reach by the CCP state, Willy Lam finds a possible ray of light for a better future in the quests of many tens of millions of Chinese to live with basic human dignities. A must read.

Edward Friedman, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison
