The Party by Richard McGregor Book Summary

“A masterful depiction of the party today. . . . McGregor illuminates the most important of the contradictions and paradoxes. . . . An entertaining and insightful portrait of China’s secretive rulers.” —The Economist

“Few outsiders have any realistic sense of the innards, motives, rivalries, and fears of the Chinese Communist leadership. But we all know much more than before, thanks to Richard McGregor’s illuminating and richly-textured look at the people in charge of China’s political machinery. . . . Invaluable.” — James Fallows, National Correspondent for The Atlantic

In this provocative and illuminating account, Financial Times reporter Richard McGregor offers a captivating portrait of China’s Communist Party, its grip on power and control over China, and its future.

China’s political and economic growth in the past three decades has been one of astonishing, epochal dimensions. The most remarkable part of this transformation, however, has been left largely untold—the central role of the Chinese Communist Party. McGregor delves deeply into China’s inner sanctum for the first time, showing how the Communist Party controls the government, courts, media, and military and keeps all corruption accusations against its members in-house. The Party’s decisions have a global impact, yet the CCP remains a deeply secretive body, hostile to the law and unaccountable to anyone or anything other than its own internal tribunals. It is the world’s only geopolitical rival of the United States, and is primed to think the worst of the West.

The Party. This book is fascinating overview of the internal and external workings of the CCP. As an environmental consultant who has worked in China on various projects all over the Country since 2000, I found the book to illuminate and explain some of the vexing situations I often encountered and also some of the everyday encounters I experienced. As an avid reader of English language literature on Chinese history and politics over the last 11 years, I found new information and insights that provided both historical perspectives and contemporary analysis explaining many phenomena I witnessed personally in China. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Chinese society, and particularly to anyone who has bought into the various "imminent demise" theories about the CCP. The western view that economic growth leads inevitably to political liberalization is substantially debunked. I wish I could ask some of my Chinese friends their opinions of this book, but dare not e-mail anything to them about it lest they suffer some of the backlash by the government described in this book and many other sources. It is probable that this book will not be available to them anyway, unless a copy is smuggled into China anyway. I have been reading Susan L. Shirk's book China: Fragile Superpower at the same time as this book and, together, they provide great insights into modern China.

Party. Excellent insight into the machinations of the CCP. Fascinating reading
