China After Mao: The Rise of a Superpower is a non-fiction book by Frank Dikötter, a Dutch historian.He has built an ideological apparatus that criminalises dissenting views of history and seeks to fuse the idea of the party, the country, the state and the person of Xi into one unchallengeable monolith. He takes us inside the country's unprecedented four-decade economic transformation--from rural villages to industrial metropoles and elite party conclaves--that vaulted the nation from 126t -largest economy in the world to second -largest.
