The Deng Xiaoping Era: An Inquiry into the Fate of Chinese Socialism, 1978-1994
A bold new history of the Deng years by a leading China scholarUnlike the former Soviet Union and the once countries of Eastern Europe, China's current economy is now the world's second largest and most rapidly growing. Remarkably, today's problems in China are spiritual in nature-a crisis of faith-stemming from the clash between capitalist realities and lingering socialist values and ideas.The Deng Xiaoping Era is the story of that crisis and of…
Marxism and the Chinese Experience
The Chinese rediscovery of Karl Marx: Some reflections on post-maoist Chinese Marxism
One of the more striking features of Chinese Marxist thought in the years since the death of Mao Tse-tung has been the revival of many original Marxist concepts and orthodox Marxist-Leninist perspectives. This, of course, does not accord with the conventional view of the post-Maoist era which has it that Mao's successors have all but abandoned Marxism in favor of "pragmatism." Those who seek Chinese Communist abandonments of Marxism might be bett…

Mao and Marx in the Scholastic Tradition
It is quite understandable why pronouncements from Beijing [Peking] should proclaim Ze-dong to have been the true disciple of Marx, and Mao Ze-dong Thought the highest stage in the development of Marxism-Leninism. Less understandable is why academics in Baltimore and Ann Arbor feel the politicoideological need to contribute to the celebration through purely scholastic exercises wholly divorced from Chinese social reality. Whatever the explanation…
The Mozartian Historian
Liberal Arts in Republican China
Leninism and Maoism: Some Populist Perspectives in Marxism-Leninism in China
Isaac Deutscher once observed that the Chinese Communist revolution presents the paradox of “the most archaic of nations avidly absorbing the most modern of revolutionary doctrines, the last word in revolution, and translating it into action. Lacking any native ancestry, Chinese Communism descends straight from Bolshevism. Mao stands on Lenin's shoulders.” This echoes the generally accepted view of the historical relationship between Maoism and L…
Maoist Utopianism and the Future of Chinese Society
Li Ta-Chao and the Origins of Chinese Marxism
Utopian Goals and Ascetic Values in Chinese Communist Ideology
The ethical values and norms which are to guide social behavior in Communist China are often conveyed through fables and stories. It thus might not be inappropriate to begin a discussion of these values with a story that is now perhaps as familiar to students of contemporary Chinese affairs as it is to the Chinese. The story is from traditional Chinese folklore, but it became a part of the Chinese Communist tradition when it was retold by Mao Tse…

The Despotism of Concepts: Wittfogel and Marx on China
Despite his claim to have advanced beyond Marxism and arrived at an entirely new conception of the nature of traditional non-Western societies, it is somewhat surprising to learn that Professor Karl Wittfogel still feels the need to seek the testimony of no less an “authority” on Asia than Karl Marx. In a recent article in this journal Professor Wittfogel has once again examined the canons of Marxism in order to find support for the theory of “Or…
The Development of Formosan Nationalism
Eighteen years ago Formosa was liberated from half a century of Japanese colonial rule. When Kuomintang soldiers and administrators arrived to reassert Chinese sovereignty over the island province in October 1945 they were enthusiastically welcomed as liberators by the For-mosans. Within a few months, however, the Kuomintang had succeeded in alienating virtually all segments of the native population by inaugurating a military régime that treated …
