A psychological analysis of Chinese political culture. Examines the enduring stable aspects of Chinese society, the roles played by authority, order, hierarchy, and filial piety, and the unshakeable belief in historical greatness.The author was among the first to report the underlying tensions which exploded in the Cultural Revolution in 1966. This book renews the warning against Western complacency in assuming that China's political leaders will act in a rational and cautious manner.
