The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers by Richard McGregor

I have been a business consultant helping Americans to do business in China for over eleven years, over this time period I have read many books on China and I must say that this book by Richard McGregor is one of the most well written books I have read on the subject.

McGregor did an incredible job drawing from his eight years in China as correspondent for The Financial Times, to be able to demystify how the Chinese Communist Party operates, giving us a detailed look at how they influence the Chinese economy, military, and local governments.

The book is very much about the Chinese Communist Party today, but McGregor does a great job pulling from Chinese history to illustrate the nature of the Party and how it is able to adapt and reinvent itself over time.


This book should be read by anyone doing business in China, this book should be a MUST read for US Government Officials when they are creating China policy.
