Description

Interest in China has never been greater, but the voices of the Chinese themselves often escape notice. Here, finally, is a collection of personal stories and sobering analysis which puts this wrong to right. Topics encompass underage prostitution to the crackdown on religion and features some of the first-ever eyewitness accounts from Chinese dissidents and their families. Challenging China offers rare glimpses of the country's ongoing political turmoil as well as hope in the rising resistance.
