Popular Protest in China: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Popular Protest in China" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In this book, Teresa Wright analyzes the array of protests that have swept China in the post-Mao period. Exploring popular contention through a range of different groups - from farmers to factory workers, urban homeowners to environmentalists, nationalists to dissidents, ethnic minorities to Hong Kong residents, Wright shows that - with the exception of the latter - popular protest has achieved adequate government responses to the publics most serious grievances.
Yet Wright cautions that this may not last forever. For Chinese citizens that engage in protest often suffer serious emotional and physical costs. As a result, they have developed an unhealthy relationship with the regime. In this context, Xi Jinpings recent efforts to restrict public expression may backfire - leading to an explosive dynamic that may threaten the political stability that Chinas ruling elites so desire.
