Offers an explanation of extreme radicalism in Chinese reform movements from the late nineteenth century through the Cultural Revolution and into the post-Mao era. This book demonstrates how datong - an ancient concept that can be translated as 'great harmony' - and other elements of Chinese thought have led China down a unique political path.

An analysis of Chinese political culture. It is divided into three major areas: Chinese identities and popular culture (including regional identities); public opinion surveys (the Beijing area, Chinese workers, the Shanghai area); and ideological debates (such as the "new" Confucianism).
