@Siegfriedolin

thanks

hey

good goy

Anyone got good book recommendations for Chinese politics?

BUMP

@Jonn Since NEP(market economy runned by communist) is Lenin's idea read him on it.

Ching chong

I mean current politics in China. Y'know that insider shit. I've got some books, but want to know if there's more. It will be hard me not knowing chinese though

hi

im leegit chinese

@Jonn this is the most important book you will need

Thanks

I was reading Richard McGregor

The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers

This was supposed to give some info on the "Jiang faction" thay I saw people crying about on some chats

Think it's best to just switch straight to the one you sent?

you should read all of them

or whichever ones you're comfortable with

@Deleted User I plan to but didn't know which would be best to start with. Probably doesn't matter though

it doesn't

you should continue with what you're already reading

Thanks will do

The guo wengui stuff I read recently really motivated me to want to study the politics itself more closely(or what you can see of it)

american plot to destabilize china tbh

That's the initial feeling I had that the cia was behind it. The timing before the 2017 party conference(?) Is too suspicious, but it is still very interesting

***starving intensifies***
