 | China's New Rulers by Andrew J. Nathan, Bruce Gilley
At the Chinese Communist Party`s 16th Congress in November 2002, a group of new leaders will take over the world`s most populous country. Their accession signals the end of a long, complex struggle for power, yet little has been known outside high Party circles about either the struggle or the men who emerged victorious from it. Now China`s New Rulers, based on leaked secret Party files that were compiled in choosing China`s Fourth Generation of leaders, offers an unprecedented glimpse into the most orderly transition in the history of the People`s Republic. It reveals the backgrounds, characters, and visions for the future of the seven men who will rule China for the next five years, profiles other key figures in the Party, government, and military, and provides new perspectives on Jiang Zemin`s thirteen years in power. This is an extraordinary account of generational change in Beijing and essential reading for everyone interested in China`s politics, economy, culture, human rights, and dealings with the West.
