Reviews
"...Liang's investigation illuminates just how counterproductive Chinese attempts to control foreign news coverage actually are....Although Professor Liang's book focuses on a particular place, with particular intricacies and idiosyncrasies, and during the particular period of late 1990s, it implicitly raises some important questions about the present and future of international reporting." Judy Polumbaum, University of Iowa
