By 1999, the Falungong religious movement had spread widely and broadly throughout China. While on the surface its ideology of spiritual and physical cultivation did not seem threatening, the Chinese government felt otherwise. That year, the government cracked down hard on the movement, andits successful repression of it over a six year period is a textbook example of how the Chinese state operates in the face of perceived internal threats. Its success in containing the movement speaks volumes about the regime''s resilience as well. Revenge of the Forbidden City is the definitiveaccount of China''s response to Falungong. As James Tong shows, the episode also tells us a great deal about the Chinese state''s political institutions, its media apparatus, and its formidable ability to crush dissent. The result is a book that will be essential for any scholar interested in howthe Chinese state actually operates. | Revenge of the Forbidden City by James Tong Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > History > Politics > Political Theory P10103, James Tong<
