Deng Yuwen on Chinese Statism and Sino-American Relations

New this fortnight: Deng Yuwen, “Chinese Statism, the Transitional Nature of Xi Jinping’s Regime, and America’s Response,” Chinese text published on July 15, 2020 on a new European site, “China:  History and Future 中国：历史与未来,” created by and for Chinese intellectuals living and working outside of China, hoping nonetheless to contribute to China's future development by providing critical commentary.  Deng, a member of the Chinese Guomindang who also served as the editor of the CCP Central Party School journal Study Times before being fired in 2013 (and who now is a Visiting Scholar at Nottingham University in England), offers a spirited essay discussing Sino-American relations and Xi Jinping as a "transitional" figure. 
Just one text this time around.  It's summer.
