What they say

The author has interviewed more than 100 Chinese leaders and shared his views on the thinking of the Chinese leaders of the next generation. This book deserves a wide readership.

I would agree with Kuhn's contention that China today is run by those who are best prepared and most dedicated. China draws on its long tradition of meritocracy and has largely established a system of selecting competent and dedicated leaders, especially at the provincial and ministerial level and above.
