"I am reading this book on a recommendation and so far I am glad I splurged a bit on it. Really interesting reflections that are easy to connect with many remarks and impressions of my own from my time in China. Even though I am not a frequent reader of social science books, the essays are actually rather enjoyable and informative, not at all obscure nor difficult to process." — Dec 18, 2015 11:59AM

In feminist and other social justice contexts, this has long been called trashing, attacking leaders for daring to write, speak, or lead at all. Taking away the good is even more lethal than pointing out the bad. p.189”
