"The 1980s saw spirited debate in China, as officials and the public pressed for economic and political liberalization. But after Tiananmen, the Communist Party erased the reform debate from memory. Julian Gewirtz shows how leadership expunged alternative visions of China's future and set the stage for the policing of history under Xi Jinping"-- Provided by publisher.
