"The ultimate test of a state's ability to survive comes from crises, whether a natural disaster or a man-made political crisis. For all those interested in the survival of the incumbent regime in China, this unique and informative book will be required reading." - Bruce Dickson, George Washington University, USA"In thirty years of rapid social and economic development, China's crisis management and crisis avoidance have been exemplary. This volume provides an invaluable guide to crisis development and response in the People's Republic." - David S. G. Goodman, University of Sydney, Australia"A remarkably timely study, which addresses key issues such as government capacity, leadership abilities, regime legitimacy, system survivability, all leading to the perennial question - will the People’s Republic be able to manage all its crises and continue long into the future?" - David Zweig, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong
