Abstract:
In this article I analyze through in-depth interviews and surveys Chinese intellectuals’ opinions on the necessity, direction, timing, and method of democratization. I examine how Chinese intellectuals in China’s two main cities perceive democracy and what direction the development of democracy is taking in China.
