China's Leaders

In the fall of 2012, when China's Communist Party has its next National Party Congress (one is held every five years), senior leaders will be selected to replace those who have run the country for the past decade. In his book, How China's Leaders Think, Kuhn offers background on Chinese officials we may hear more about in coming years. - Barron's

Robert Kuhn offers outlooks on the mainland's future from those shaping it... [His] access to the mainland's political hierarchy is impressive. - South China Morning Post

How China's Leaders Think draws on interviews with more than 100 Chinese leaders, providing insightful views on what China's current and future leaders think about economy, media, diplomacy and more. - Xinhua News Agency

Kuhn's latest work draws on his personal conversations with as many as 100 Chinese leaders. Kuhn delves into the mode of thinking of China's leaders, revealing how they feel about the country's presence in the world and how certain changes may impact others. - Global Times

This book reflects the personal visions and collective commitment of China's senior leaders, including the next generation who will come to full power in 2012. Most readers will not get closer to China's leaders than this. - China Daily

This is an important book that deserves a wide audience. It is important because it is the first attempt by a foreigner to explain the thinking of China's current leadership across a range of subjects, and because Kuhn's access to that leadership is unprecedented - and entirely unique - for any Westerner outside of diplomatic circles. - That's Shanghai

Arguably one of the best surveys of China's economic and social landscape during several decades of reform. - The Washington Times
