À propos de cet audio
The Party is Financial Times reporter Richard McGregor's eye-opening investigation into China's Communist Party, and the integral role it has played in the country's rise as a global superpower and rival to the United States. Many books have examined China's economic rise, human rights record, turbulent history, and relations with the US; none until now, however, have tackled the issue central to understanding all of these issues: how the ruling communist government works. The Party delves deeply into China's secretive political machine.

Post-Mao Corporate Leninism. A real eyeopener.
Even though this book is 10 years old, it offers insights into the CCP and how it is marinated into the daily lives of the most populous country on the planet. It also explains how so many people can be cowed into towing the Party's line, and how Chinese companies really are simply an extension of the CCP overseas. Hence it now seems obvious why China jailed two Canadian businessmen in retaliation for the house arrest in Canada of a Huawei executive.
Business is political and politics is all about business in China. And the idea of a Western liberal democracy thriving in the coming Century is really put into doubt. Finally, it presents some brave Chinese journalists and historians, and introduced me to "Tombstone" - an accurate depiction of the Great (starvation) Leap Forward and the reasonable estimate of 35 million people killed in the late 1950s alone.
This is a great book to understand China today, and the narration (unlike one previous reviewer) is easy to listen to for a native English speaker.
