The Book the World is Talking About

UNTITLED ON CHINA

By Anonymous

During the 1980s, Zhao Ziyang was Premier of the People’s Republic of China and the main architect of his nation’s irrevocable turn toward a market economy. In 1987, he was named General Secretary of the Communist Party, answering only to Deng Xiaoping, China’s supreme leader. But then, in April 1989, the Tiananmen Square protests erupted. Less than two months later, after the government’s bloody crackdown – which Zhao had vigorously opposed – he was out of power and under house arrest. He spent the last sixteen years of his life, up until his death in 2005, in seclusion.
