- Impressions:
The Reform and Its Enemies reflects Zheng Yongnian’s careful analysis of China’s political reform, emphasizing the tension between elite-driven change and societal legitimacy. He argues that the lack of consensus on reform, combined with rising corruption and ideological disorientation, poses significant threats to sustainable governance. The book calls for reforms grounded in China’s historical, political, and cultural context, avoiding blind imitation of Western models while restoring trust in government institutions.
