'[Xu] does everyone interested in China a valuable service. Great political and moral questions loom, and it is not just "hostile foreign forces" asking them. As Xu notes: "History always exceeds our expectations." I suspect that in <i>Paper Tiger</i> he has published a more optimistic volume than he realizes' <i>Financial Times</i>.
'Compelling and important ... it is a powerful account' <i>Sunday Telegraph</i>.
'Identifies the consequences of an authoritarian state struggling to control a society developing at a breakneck speed ... Xu sounds a warning about the new leader who, he says, believes that "China will become a great power only once all of its citizens believe the same thing"' <i>Daily Telegraph</i>.
'This is a book that will most definitely be contending for 2016's best title ... With remarkable clarity, Xu serves an almost sublime invective, with a grace and composure that almost contradicts the strength of the criticism and quiet outrage that he enacts' Bleg.jigokuki.org.
'A young journalist of considerable acumen and courage, Xu writes of the discontents and dreams of the everyday China' <i>TLS</i>.
