Hong’s Reviews > The Legacy of Tiananmen Square > Status Update

This book isn't really about Tiananmen so much as it is why Tiananmen happened, and why we shouldn't have been all to surprised. As a survey of democracy in China, it is interesting but I feel like something important is being glossed over. hmmmm.

So far this is a really great and interesting read. Frustrating at points where I think it should be frustrating and informing in all the ways a piece of journalism should be... And as Cormier requested I am reading this not as political science or history but as journalism.
