What do the Chinese mean when they say that their political systems
is "democratic"? With recent improvements in relations between
China and the West, this question is basic to an understanding of
the Chinese people in their state. In Chinese Democracy, Andrew
Nathan investigates in depth the nature and meaning of "democracy"
in China today, beginning with a vivid history of the short-lived
Democracy Movement of 1978-1981, when groups of young people in a
number of Chinese cities started issuing outspoken publications and
putting up posters detailing their complaints and opinions. Nathan
constructs - for the first time - a poignant picture of this burst
of liberal activity, and at the same time he shows how distinctly
Chinese it was and how the roots of its failure lay as much in
history as in current political necessity. readers of this book
will gain a new perspective on the nature of democracy as the
Chinese practice it.
