Julia Strauss, professor at the University of London, argues in her new book that accounting for the two variants of the Chinese state in the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China solely in terms of their divergent ideology and institutions fails to recognize their similarities and their relative successes. This discussion will be moderated by UC San Diego Professor of Modern Chinese History Micah Muscolino.
