Based on government statements and public opinion polls this book considers China's development of and adherence to rule of law by measuring against other developing countries and particularly those with "Asian values" as opposed to Western liberal democracies. Concludes that the East Asian Model has distinct regional characteristics which have worked well and offers useful lessons but mere replication is no more a guarantee of success than would be expected were a state to simply copy a Western model.
