About this book
Reviews
“A meticulous and detailed study of an important but understudied area—lobbying for influence within the People's Republic of China. This book sets out how lobbying is possible even in a one-party system, how different actors engage with the state to further their own interests, and what differentiates foreign and local actors. Beijing has been called the ‘lobbying capital of the world’—but one with definite ‘Chinese’ characteristics.” (Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute, King's College London, UK)
