User reviews

LibraryThing member Dilip-Kumar
As many have noted, a delightful and highly informative personal account of the author's five-year stay in China. Contains some very sober- and sobering- insights into the debate on democracy-versus-development trade-off. Very useful for anyone trying to understand China, especially in India.
