Synopsis
With contributions from some of the most well respected and experienced Chinese writers, journalists, and organizers, China's Great Leap examines the People's Republic of China as its government and 1.3 billion people prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games. When Beijing first sought the Games, China was still recovering from the upheavals of Maoist rule and adapting to a market revolution. Today, China wants to engage with the outside worldwhile fully controlling the engagement. How will the new leaders in Beijing manage the Olympic process and the internal and external pressures for reform it creates? China's Great Leap will illuminate China's recent history and outline how domestic and international pressures in the context of the Olympics could achieve human rights change. Learn about key areas for human rights reform and how the Olympics could represent a possible great leap forward for the people of China and for the world., With contributions from some of the most well respected and experienced Chinese writers, journalists, and organizers, China's Great Leap examines the People's Republic of China as its government and 1.3 billion people prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games.
