Gordon Chang's provocative thesis is that the end of the Chinese Communist Party is not in the distant future but is imminent. He exposes the flaws in China's economic and political institutions and examines the forces at work to bring about a collapse of the present regime. The question is: Will the regime collapse, as Chang boldly predicts, or will it slowly evolve and allow more space for the emerging private sector and greater scope for human rights?
