No Great Wall: On The Continuities of the Chinese Revolution

The book explores the continuity of the Chinese revolution from its inception in 1919 to the contemporary era under Xi Jinping. Carlos Martinez argues against the notion that Deng Xiaoping's reforms in 1978 represented a betrayal, positing instead that the revolution has evolved in response to shifting national and global circumstances. Included are essays that compare China's trajectory with that of the Soviet Union and assess the achievements of the Communist Party of China, particularly after its 20th National Congress.
