good post
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***
ching chong
me eat cat
CIA is involved in everyone's shit
Internal and external someone needs to put them in their place but no one actually cares
@Deleted User thanks for reading material btw good shit
np
read some of Sun Yat Sens works as well
This book by Cheng Li is a pretty rough read. I started to skip around once I got to the Education chapter. I am now reading about more about Factions. Very interesting stuff. Definitely didn't think abpout this aspect of very differing factions oddly
no problem
glad you are enjoying it
@Jonn read this as well. it is absolutely paramount to understanding chinese history.
it is debated today even wether sun yat sen would have preffered socialism or nationalism, so it is still very very important
