In this book Jonathan Chatwin pursues the story of Deng’s legendary \"Southern Tour\" and examines its legacies in the country today. Chatwin recounts the crucial debates and disagreements that characterised Chinese politics in the aftermath of the brutal crackdown of the Tiananmen protests of 1989, and the decisive influence of Deng’s journey in establishing an economic blueprint for the 1990s and beyond.\r\n\r\n He explores a nation which has been transformed by large-scale urbanisation - exemplified by the mega-cities of southern China that Deng visited and endorsed - but whose leadership is now conflicted by the pursuit of wealth that Deng legitimized. Drawing on historical and contemporary eyewitness accounts, and the author’s own 3000 mile journey in Deng’s footsteps, The Southern Tour brings to life the story of China’s transformation into a 21st-century superpower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
