N2  - "China Since Tiananmen is the first book to offer a look at the intellectual and political trends, and to assess how China has changed, since the Tiananmen Square events in 1989. Fewsmith describes the maneuverings of the top leadership and political debates among intellectuals, offering a coherent and credible narrative of deep political conflict in China in the years after Tiananmen. He puts the rise of neoconservatism and nationalism in China today into historical context, and he contrasts it with the growing pluralization of Chinese society and governance. Fewsmith depicts the growing tensions between these two trends as China's version of America's culture wars, but with arguably higher stakes. This book is filled with new information not discussed in Western media. Fewsmith's thorough and realistic assessment of the forces that drive China today is critical reading for anyone trying to understand Sino-U.S. relations, China's most recent evolution, and its future."--BOOK JACKET
