Summary:

"Rising prosperity was supposed to bring democracy to China, yet the Communist Party's political monopoly endures. How? Minxin Pei looks to the surveillance state. Though renowned for high-tech repression, the Chinese surveillance state is also a hugely labor-intensive project. Pei delves into the human sources of coercion at the heart of CCP power."-- Provided by publisher.
