China Coup by Roger Garside – Hardcover – University of California Press

This short book predicts contrary to the prevailing consensus that China s leader Xi Jinping will very soon be removed from office in a coup d état mounted by rivals in the top leadership. The leaders of the coup will then end China s one-party dictatorship and launch a transition to democracy and the rule of law. Long-time diplomat and development banker Roger Garside draws on his deep knowledge of Chinese politics and economics first to develop a detailed scenario of how these events may unfold, and then in the main body of the book to explain why. His gripping, persuasive account of how Chinese leaders plot and plan away from the public eye is unique in published literature.
