The main body of this book, Part 2, explains why it will happen. Parts 1 and 3 tell how it may happen"-- $c Provided by publisher 520 $a How a coup in China could launch a transition to democracy. This succinct book boldly predicts that China's leader Xi Jinping will soon be removed from office in a coup d'etat mounted by rivals in the top leadership. The leaders of the coup will then end China's one-party dictatorship and launch a transition to democracy and the rule of law. Long-time diplomat and development banker Roger Garside draws on his deep knowledge of Chinese politics and economics to develop a detailed scenario of why and how these events will unfold. Garside argues that under Xi's overconfident leadership, China is on a collisoin course with an America that is newly awakened out of complacency. Xi's rivals are alarmed that he is blind to the reactions that China's actions have provoked from the world's strongest power and its allies. They also recognize that economic and social change without political reform have created problems that require a new system of government. To save China-and themselves-from catastrophe, they must remove Xi and end the dictatorship he is determined to defend. But their will and capacity to do so depend crucially on how liberal democracies act. Garside's scenario shows America leading its allies in creating the conditions in which Xi's rivals move against him. - from bookjacket 650 0 $a Coups d'婉tat $z China $x Forecasting 651 0 $a China $x Politics and government $y 2002- 941 $a 1 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724015013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05D9B06C498311EFAB853F282BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
