Summary:
The book examines the shift in China's governance from reformist openness to a more authoritarian model under the Chinese Communist Party. It discusses the implications of this change for Chinese society, economy, and its role on the global stage, suggesting that the tightening control may hinder China's continued development and stability.
Key points:
1. China's Shift to Authoritarianism: Under Xi Jinping, China is reverting to stricter authoritarian rule, with more power consolidation, censorship, and suppression of dissent, moving away from earlier economic and political liberalization.
