Book reviews

How does the CPC govern the country? This is a question we might expect to be answered in dry political and administrative terminology. However this 200,000-word book draws readers a convincing and detailed picture in unassuming language applied to an abundance of practical challenges ―real and vivid cases are addressed on almost every page. Its clear literary form and simple style will make learning about the making of our country a fun experience.

―Zhao Qizheng, member of the CPPCC Standing Committee and chairman of its Foreign Affairs Committee

In 2004, Kenneth Lieberthal, an American, wrote a book titled, Governing China, which exerted a certain influence in all China’s government departments and academic circles. The present work, Governing China: How the CPC Works, is insight provided by Chinese scholars on their own political system, administrative setup, judicial system and modes of operation, the different angles showcasing the theories and practices of the CPC in a new light. It explains how the Party has led the country with the world’s largest population through the challenges of a very imbalanced economy, ground-up political development, and social discrepancy.

―Zhou Mingwei, president of the China International Publishing Group

America’s territory is similar in size to that of China, but the United States has a population of only 300 million. The Chinese population equals the total of all the industrialized countries in the world: 1.3 billion. It is obvious that the issues of governing a developing country with such a large population is much more complicated than ruling the United States, Britain, France or Germany. If you want to know how the CPC has organized and rejuvenated such a vast and complex country, you’ll find out by reading this book edited by Professor Xie Chuntao.

―Li Junru, member of the CPPCC Standing Committee, and former vice-president of the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC

How to govern a country and administer state affairs has preoccupied leaders and civilizations throughout human history, and presents difficulties the world is destined to go on grappling with. The long, patient and arduous explorations of the CPC have given birth to its unique methods of governing the country, and breaking new ground in human affairs. The scholarship here is of profound significance. Governing China: How the CPC Works provides us all with an invaluable literary sketch, and a significant achievement worth bringing to the world’s attention.

―Li Zhongjie, deputy director of the Party History Research Center of the Central Committee of the CPC
