About this book

Extensively revised and fully updated in this sixth edition, this popular textbook conveys the drama of China's struggle to modernize against the backdrop of a proud and difficult history.

Featuring a new analysis of the issues facing China's fifth generation of leaders, it explores prominent developments including China's relations with its neighbors and the United States, the humanitarian crises in Tibet and Xinjiang, and the progression of Xi Jinping. Incorporating new analytical summaries in each chapter and updated suggested readings, this new edition covers:

The breakdown of imperial China in the face of Japanese and Western encroachments
The struggles between the ideologies and armies of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution
Deng Xiaoping's reforms and the resulting dismantling of socialism and economic growth • China's position as a world superpower and Xi Jinping's leadership
The Covid-19 pandemic

Spanning the years from China's defeat in the Opium Wars to its current status as a world superpower, the sixth edition of Modernization and Revolution in China is an essential textbook for courses on modern Chinese history, Chinese politics, and modern East Asia.
