About this product
Product Information
In Paper Tiger , the Chinese journalist and intellectual Xu Zhiyuan paints a portrait of the world's second-largest economy via a thoughtful and wide-ranging series of mini essays on contemporary Chinese society. He describes the many stages upon which China's great transformation is taking place, from Beijing's Silicon district to a cruise down the Three Gorges; he profiles China's dissidents, including Liu Xiaobo, Ai Weiwei and Chen Guangcheng; and explores lesser-known stories of scandals that rocked China but which most people outside that country did not hear about--and which shed troubling light on China's dark heart. Xu Zhiyuan understands his homeland in a way no foreign correspondent ever could. This unique insider's view of China is measured and brave, ambitious in scope and deeply personal.

Reviews
"[Xu] does everyone interested in China a valuable service. Great political and moral questions loom, and it is not just "hostile foreign forces" asking them. As Xu notes: "History always exceeds our expectations." I suspect that in Paper Tiger he has published a more optimistic volume than he realizes" -- Financial Times "Compelling and important... it is a powerful account'" -- Sunday Telegraph "Identifies the consequences of an authoritarian state struggling to control a society developing at a breakneck speed... Xu sounds a warning about the new leader who, he says, believes that "China will become a great power only once all of its citizens believe the same thing"'" -- Daily Telegraph "This is a book that will most definitely be contending for 2016's best title... With remarkable clarity, Xu serves an almost sublime invective, with a grace and composure that almost contradicts the strength of the criticism and quiet outrage that he enacts'" -- Bleg.jigokuki.org "A young journalist of considerable acumen and courage, Xu writes of the discontents and dreams of the everyday China" -- TLS, "[Xu] does everyone interested in China a valuable service. . . . I suspect that in Paper Tiger he has published a more optimistic volume than he realizes . " --Financial Times, "[Xu] does everyone interested in China a valuable service. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
