who are interested in how China's government really works.

Too often China's government is perceived as a top-down organization, but internal turf fights and struggles to get consensus on different levels are features that are much more important to get a good understanding on how the administration works. Victor Shih describes very detailed how that process works and is a must-read for everybody who is working with political entities in China on different levels.
