Title: The search for modern China
Description: "The Third Edition, entirely revised and featuring new scholarship throughout, brings the history of modern China up-to-date through the drastic changes of the last decade, including China's vast social and economic transformation, participation in the world economy, and strong political and military influence regionally and globally, all with the remnant Communist Party continuing to exercise political control. The updated final chapter examines these changes alongside the persistent tensions China continues to face: social tensions connected to the disparities in wealth between the cities and the countryside; struggles to maintain central authority in the far west; tensions between minority ethnic groups and the majority Han Chinese; and protests over control of Tibet and Tibetan populations in China."--Publisher's website.
