Marx and the Chinese Revolution
By focusing on the “Sinification of Marxism,” the nature of the Communist Party of China, the strategic concepts of class and nation, the theories of a “new democratic revolution” and “continuous revolution,” and the notion of revolutionary modernity, the historical processes, characters and significance of the communist revolution in China can be outlined. Beginning with the shift in Marx’s conception of history that affirms the potential for “s…
China's Market Reform Debate
Isabella M. Weber, How China Escaped Shock Therapy: The Market Reform Debate. London and New York: Routledge, 2021. 358 pp. £ 30.00 paperback. In the histories of capitalist genesis and development, including the capitalist logic of the Cold War and post-Cold War (and the threatened new Cold War) and of neoliberal globalization, the market integration and invigoration which has brought the economy of Communist China to global prominence is a rema…
Asia and the Shift in Marx’s Conception of Revolution and History
Through a revisit of the evolution of Marx’s ideas about Oriental society and the village community, this chapter explores the methodological meaning of Asia for the Marxist conception of history and demonstrates its contemporary relevance. Following Marx’s original cases of India, China, and Russia, the chapter traces how eventually in his analysis national liberation and class struggle became mutually indispensable and why the oldest forms of s…
China and Global Capitalism
In this concise historical and conceptual analysis of China's evolving position in a world defined predominantly by global capitalist development, Lin offers a critical review of relevant debates and
Marxism and the politics of positioning China in world history

Ultimately, given the Marxian perspective of world history in terms of capitalist genesis, expansion and revolutionary transformations (of pre-capitalism as well as capitalism itself), …

The Transformation of Chinese Socialism
Whither Feminism
Participation and Recognition
China's mounting unemployment in recent years is an unintended but predictable consequence of the economic reform with an open labor market. It has turned into a major political crisis in a "socialist state" where not only security but also sovereign dignity of labor remain central to the constitutional mandate and, however lingering, to popular expectation as well. This article traces the origins of the crisis, explores linkage between participa…
Reply to Dorothy Thompson and Fred Inglis
What initially inspired me to study the British New Left was not just an awareness of the intellectual importance and political urgency of its legacy, but a curious attraction to its charismatic personalities. As a matter of fact, and understandably since he was personally involved, Gareth Stedman Jones
China Today
Before I returned to China last year I was working on an essay entitled (borrowing and combining Raymond Williams and Juliet Mitchell) ‘Culture: The Longest Revolution’, explaining how difficult it would be to get rid of our dominant cultural heritage of patriarchy, and more specifically, what I called
The Elegy of Wild Swans
The significance and integrity of this first-hand account of the lives of three women in twentieth-century China—the author, her mother and grandmother—so vividly written and ambitious in scope, are beyond question. The author, someone of my own age and background, was born in 1952 to a Communist family
