China's New Rulers: The Secret Files by Nathan Andrew J

This work lifts the lid on the rotten state of politics in the late-communist era of China. The book is closely based on classified internal Chinese Communist Party documents, which demonstrate that personality-based decisions continue to dominate Chinese politics. It contains important and compelling information about the new generation of leaders who assumed office in October 2002, and who are expected to move China further toward a market economy and align it more closely with the United States. "The Fourth Generation" provides fascinating and crucial information about the individuals themselves and gives a glimpse of the balance of power between them.
