Never Turn Back

China and the Forbidden History of the 1980s
Book • 2024
In *Never Turn Back*, Julian Gewirtz delves into the diverse debates within the Chinese Communist Party during the 1980s, covering topics such as market reforms, state control, and political liberalization.

The book highlights how these discussions were systematically erased from official history after the Tiananmen Square protests, shaping China's path under Xi Jinping.

Gewirtz's work offers a nuanced understanding of China's rise and the foundations of its current political landscape.
