The Fight for Chinas Future throws light on the quintessence of 21st century Chinese politics through the prism of the struggle between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinas vibrant intelligentsia and civil society.This book examines Xi Jinpings 24-hour, multi-dimensional, AI-enabled police-state apparatus and explores the CCPs policy towards civil society. Through exclusive interviews with activists from different provinces, it analyzes the experiences and aspirations of key stakeholders in Chinese society, especially intellectuals, human rights attorneys and Christian worshippers. Providing an examination of recent global trends in relation to CCP policies, including Chinas relationship with the U.S., it also goes on to explore the possible trajectories of future change.Featuring an assessment of Xi Jinpings leadership style and the opportunities this has given certain groups to promote the rule of law, media freedom and other global norms, this book will be invaluable to students of Chinese politics, society and culture.
