The Chinese Communist Party
Ten engaging personal histories introduce readers to what it was like to live in and with the most powerful political machine ever created: the Chinese Communist Party. Detailing the life of ten people who led or engaged with the Chinese Communist Party, one each for one of its ten decades of its existence, these essays reflect on the Party's relentless pursuit of power and extraordinary adaptability through the transformative decades since 1921.…
Xi Jinping’s Counter-Reformation
Xi Jinping is the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao. How can one make sense of what Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party are doing? This essay offers perspectives from the history of the Party and its notable style of rule: ideological governance through rectification (zhengfeng). This Party ‘statecraft’ which dates back to Yan’an in the 1940s and across the Mao period also draws on long-standing Chinese political norms. Xi Jinping is …

The voices in this volume include figures from each of China’s main intellectual clusters.
Make China Marxist Again
The renewed embrace of Marxism has been a key element in "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era," added to China's constitution last year. But the Marxism that Xi and his propagandists are pushing is not what one would expect from a serious reading of the Manifesto. Nor is it the lumbering apparatus of the Stalinist state. The lessons of Marx, Xi declares, are that Marxism changes with the times, that it must …
Research dialogues on the intellectual public sphere in China (Part II)
Mapping the intellectual public sphere in China today
The papers in this research dialogue section are the product of a project that examines intellectual life in China since the 1990s - chiefly the efforts by academic public intellectuals to rethink China's past, present, and future in light of the excesses of Mao's revolution, the challenges emerging from reform, and the rise of China to the status of world economic power. Chinese scholars, having benefited from China's openness to the world and t…
Attitudes of Action

Placing Chinese Community Party history in the realm of social history and comparative politics, this text studies the roots of the policy failures of the late Maoist period and the tenacity of the CCP
Andrew G. Walder. China under Mao
Mao’s China looms large in twentieth-century history. The radical social changes and convulsive internal revolutions in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) during the Mao years (1949–1976) have confounded our efforts to understand them. We still wonder, why? Why when the PRC was doing relatively well in 1956 did the Chinese leadership embark on a series of destructive and ineffective mass campaigns? Andrew G. Walder’s new synthetic account, whic…
Mao's Road to Power
The Intellectual in Modern Chinese History
This vivid narrative history of Chinese intellectuals and public life provides a guide to making sense of China today. Timothy Cheek presents a map and a method for understanding the intellectual in the long twentieth century, from China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese war in 1895 to the 'Prosperous China' since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cheek surveys the changing terrain of intellectual life over this transformative century in Chinese history to …

Citizen Intellectuals in Historical Perspective
William Callahan's conceptualization ofAi Weiwei as a "citizen intellectual" is the latest in a long-standing cottage industry seeking to make sense of and define China's intellectuals. Frederic Wakeman Jr. in 1972 offered "a typology of intellectual species" for Chinese thinkers and writers in late imperial China: statesman, administrator, ethical idealist, aesthete, and emirite or recluse (Wakeman 1972, 35). Hao Zhidong applies a Weberian lens …
Mao and Maoism
Mao Zedong played a central role in leading the largest communist revolution in the world outside the Soviet Union and in the ‘creative developments’ or ‘Sinification’ of Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy to suit Chinese conditions. He combined the roles of Lenin and Stalin. The essay traces his rise to power in the Chinese Communist Party between the 1920s and 1949 and his career as leader of the People’s Republic of China from 1949 to 1976, looking at…
Mao, Revolution, and Memory
I think my first impression – dominantly one of native shrewdness – was probably correct. And yet Mao was an accomplished scholar of Classical Chinese, an omnivorous reader, a deep student of philosophy and history, a good speaker, a man with an unusual memory and extraordinary powers of concentration, an able writer, careless in his personal habits and appearance but astonishingly meticulous about details of duty, a man of tireless energy, and m…
A Critical Introduction to Mao
Mao Zedong's political career spanned more than half a century. The ideas he championed transformed one of the largest nations on earth and inspired revolutionary movements across the world. Even today Mao lives on in China, where he is regarded by many as a near-mythical figure, and in the West, where a burgeoning literature continues to debate his memory. In this book, leading scholars from different generations and around the world offer a cri…
Xu Jilin and the Thought Work of China's Public Intellectuals
This article takes recent theoretical essays by Shanghai scholar and public intellectual, Xu Jilin, and other scholars of the history of thought and culture ( sixiang wenhua shi ) as a case study of efforts by intellectuals in the People's Republic of China to define and promote a role as public intellectuals separate from the party-state. This analysis suggests that political liberalism is used in such intellectual discourse to explain the socia…

Deng Tuo
Deng Tuo was a Party member in good standing, a veteran cadre from the 1930s, former editor of the People' Daily and in 1965 secretary for culture and education in the Beijing Party Committee. Then suddenly in the spring of 1966 attacks on Wu Han, a vice–mayor of Beijing, swelled to include Deng and by May drove him to death under an avalanche of accusations. Deng Tuo and his protector, Beijing Mayor Peng Zhen, together with most of the city' Par…
The Fading of Wild Lilies
China's intellectuals and the state
Today's intellectuals in China inherit a mixed tradition in terms of their relationship to the state. Some follow the Confucian literati watchdog role of criticizing abuses of political power. Marxist intellectuals judge the state's practices on the basis of Communist ideals. Others prefer the May Fourth spirit, dedicated to the principles of free scholarly and artistic expression. The Chinese government, for its part, has undulated in its treatm…

The key role of intellectuals in Mao's China has confounded Western scholars. Were they potential dissidents or actual servants of Chinese communism? The Chinese Communist Party could not have taken over China or governed it without a coalition of forces that included the intellectuals who articulated its goals and administered its complex bureaucracy. Deng Tuo (1912–66) — founding editor of People's Daily, accomplished traditional scholar, and c…

New Perspectives on State Socialism in China
Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art 1942
As Mao consolidated his power over the CCP in Yan’an in the early 1940s, he was unexpectedly confronted by biting criticism of the party’s failure to live up to its own egalitarian goals. These criticisms came from the CCP’s left-wing intellectuals, hundreds of whom had come to Yan’an after the outbreak of war with Japan in 1937. In May 1942, Mao paused the Rectification Movement — his broader campaign to eliminate his senior party rivals and mob…
