Legitimacy of China’s Legal System and the Strength of the Chinese Communist Party
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the facts that as China modernizes and becomes a more accepted partner in global enterprises and market opportunities, the Western world is more carefully evaluating the society that has evolved in modern China. The debates surrounding issues as varied as trade normalization, human rights violations, and whether or not China has any hope of hosting the Olympics, those in the debate repeatedly ask whether or not China has really changed (or is changing). Seeing how the Chinese government reacts to its own citizens who criticize it suggests that beneath the facade of international business, the totalitarian behemoth still lurks. In addition, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) remains firmly in control of virtually all social, judicial, and political occurrences in the nation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Leo Ou-Fan Lee/Shanghai Modern
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page book review that profiles this text. In the preface to his book Shanghai Modern, author Leo Ou-Fan Lee summarizes his text concisely in one sentence: "This is a book about the city of Shanghai in the 1930s as a cultural matrix of Chinese modernity" (Lee xi). Unlike many Western scholars who have written about Shanghai, Lee offers an "insider's point of view" by looking primarily at Chinese material, that is, "literary journals, newspapers as well as works by individual authors and scholars" in order to construct a "picture of Shanghai's urban culture at the height of its splendor" (Lee xi). Examination of this text shows that Lee succeeded admirably in his goal, as the reader acquires from Lee a nuanced, multi-level perspective on Shanghai culture during this period. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
