The East is Still Red - Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century

Cheng Enfu (Chief Professor of the University of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, President of the World Association for Political Economy):

The inspiring idea that “the left must resolutely oppose the new Cold War against China led by the United States” proposed by this book, should become the international strategic principle of the left around the world.

Margaret Kimberley (Executive Editor, Black Agenda Report):

As the new cold war accelerates, it is vital to have thorough analysis regarding China. Carlos Martinez is an important thought leader at this critical juncture.

Professor Roland Boer (Renmin University of China):

The book will soon become an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to know the facts concerning China.

Danny Haiphong (Host of The Left Lens)

This book is essential reading for understanding China today and why it’s so important to oppose the US-led New Cold War against it.

Ben Norton (Founder and editor-in-chief of Geopolitical Economy Report):

Carlos Martinez has done an invaluable service in helping us understand the new phase in China’s project to build socialism.

Qiao Collective (A diaspora Chinese media collective challenging US aggression on China):

Carlos Martinez’s body of work on the history and continued reinvention of Chinese socialism had a formative influence on many of us in the diaspora who came together as Qiao Collective in 2020. Carlos has always treated this veritable revolutionary epic with the respect and attention to detail it deserves.

Professor Ken Hammond (New Mexico State University):

This is a most welcome contribution to the discourse about China on the Left, and for a broader audience of the politically engaged.

Elias Jabbour (Associate professor of theory and policy of economic planning at Rio de Janeiro State University’s School of Economics):

In this book, the reader will have access to a wide source of information and living theory necessary to understand China and its unique socialism.

Daniel Kovalik (Educator and author):

This book represents a message of hope - that socialism has a future, and China is leading in its own, unique way.
