Abstract

The Chinese government's violent suppression of popular political expression in June 1989 and the aftermath of political repression have served as a timely reminder of the political realities behind the facade of liberalization which was built by rapid development of the economy and the legal system in post-Mao China. The annual renewal of China's Most-Favored-Nation status in the U.S., Beijing's bid for the year 2000 Olympic Games, the looming resumption of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997, and political agitation in Tibet have continued to focus international attention on China's authoritarian political system and the means by which voices of political dissent are silenced.
