Description

This is a reference guide to the people, places, ideas and events crucial to an understanding of this rising power.

The focus is on society and politics and their impact on both China and the world.

After an introduction that discusses key themes in 20th-century China, Hutchings provides over 200 short essays, arranged alphabetically, that cover central figures and events - from Sun Yat-sen to Jiang Zemin, and the Boxer Rebellion to Tiananmen Square.

Included are separate entries on each province, the political leadership and the two colonies returned to Chinese control (Hong Kong and Macau), as well as essays on subjects that remain sensitive within and controversial outside China, such as religion, ethnic minorities, Tibet, Taiwan and human rights.
