DESCRIPTION:In his provocative new book\, Minxin Pei argues that China’s 
 turn to reform was never intended to lead to democracy. In fact\, Deng Xia
 oping used economic reform as a strategic tool to preserve one-party rule.
  Pei examines how the institutional foundations of authoritarian control e
 ndured through decades of globalization. With the rise of Xi Jinping in 20
 12\, he argues\, the fragile internal balance of power collapsed\, usherin
 g in a new era of neo-totalitarianism. \nJoin us as Pei discusses how this
  shift has revived restrictive practices that could set China back decades
  — politically\, economically and geopolitically.\nSpeaker:\n\nMinxin Pe
