Never Turn Back: China and the Forbidden History of the 1980s
Loving Capitalism Disease: Aids and Ideology in the People's Republic of China, 1984-2000
This article examines how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interpreted HIV/AIDS in the period from 1984, when the Chinese government first introduced policies reacting to the disease's emergence, to 2000, when China's devastating epidemic began to receive worldwide media attention. Important new sources show how the CCP cast HIV/AIDS as a staging ground for debates about the risks of liberalization and an evolving metaphor for deviance from soci…
The Futurists of Beijing: Alvin Toffler, Zhao Ziyang, and China's "New Technological Revolution," 1979-1991
This article examines former Chinese Premier and General Secretary Zhao Ziyang's policies to respond to a "New Technological Revolution," which resulted from a most unlikely influence: the prominent American writer Alvin Toffler and other futurists.

The guiding spirit in this study…

Julian Gewirtz offers a dramatic tale of competition for influence between reformers and hardline conservatives during the Deng Xiaoping era, bringing to light China's productive exchanges with the West. When Mao Zedong died in 1976, his succ…
