Real China: From Cannibalism to Karaoke

by John Gittings

Book Overview

A journey through the heart of China in search of the real issues facing the Chinese people. Beyond the economic miracle much praised abroad, there is a widening gap between rich and poor. Urban squalor persists alongside a new generation of Get Rich First entrepreneurs. The popular press revels in crime and sex but cannot discuss politics, and no-one knows where China is heading after the death of Deng Xiaoping.
