Explore the pivotal role of numbers in shaping Chinese politics with Jeremy Wallace’s “Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts: Information, Ideology.” This compelling analysis reveals how a system of quantified vision, adopted to navigate the post-Mao era, eventually masked critical issues. Discover how these limitations paved the way for Xi Jinping’s radical reforms, including anti-corruption drives and a reassertion of party control. Wallace insightfully examines how dictatorships leverage quantification not just through coercion, but also by building a persuasive narrative of legitimacy. This essential read from The Bookish Owl delves into the evolution of Chinese governance and the inherent dangers of relying on limited data. Understand the mechanisms of power and persuasion in contemporary China, making this a must-have for political science enthusiasts and those seeking to comprehend global power dynamics.
