商品描述
Popular protest in China has been widespread and prevalent. Why do people protest and how are such demonstrations handled by the authorities? Could they ultimately imperil China's political system?
In this book, Teresa Wright analyzes the array of protests that have swept China in the post-Mao period. Exploring popular contention through a range of different groups - from farmers to factory workers, urban homeowners to environmentalists, nationalists to dissidents, ethnic minorities to Hong Kong residents, Wright shows that - with the exception of the latter - popular protest has achieved adequate government responses to the public's most serious grievances.
Yet Wright cautions that this may not last forever. For Chinese citizens that engage in protest often suffer serious emotional and physical costs. As a result, they have developed an unhealthy relationship with the regime. In this context, Xi Jinping's recent efforts to restrict public expression may backfire - leading to an explosive dynamic that may threaten the political stability that China's ruling elites so desire.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
中國的民眾抗議活動廣泛且普遍。人們為什麼會抗議，當局又是如何處理這些示威活動的？這些抗議活動最終會危及中國的政治體系嗎？
在這本書中，特蕾莎·賴特（Teresa Wright）分析了自毛澤東時期以來席捲中國的各種抗議活動。她通過不同群體的視角來探討民眾的抗爭——從農民到工廠工人，從城市房主到環保人士，從民族主義者到異議人士，從少數民族到香港居民，賴特指出，除了後者之外，民眾抗議已經獲得了政府對最嚴重不滿的充分回應。
然而，賴特警告這種情況可能不會永遠持續下去。參與抗議的中國公民往往承受著嚴重的情感和身體成本。因此，他們與政權之間形成了一種不健康的關係。在這種背景下，習近平最近限制公共表達的努力可能會適得其反——導致一種可能威脅中國統治精英所渴望的政治穩定的爆炸性動態。
