Recenzje

Built on intensive micro-level research and a deep knowledge of Chinese politics, this book is immensely revealing about ways in which the Chinese regime distributes social benefits and more generally about the processes whereby policies fashioned for one purpose can be diverted to serve others. With sparkling insight, the book advances our understanding of how the Chinese regime mobilizes networks of social relations and a digital economy to maintain its power with important implications for many authoritarian welfare states.
