Learning from Shenzhen

Learning from Shenzhen: China's Post-Mao Experiment from Special Zone to Model City is a 2017 collection of essays, co-edited by Mary Ann O'Donnell, Winnie Wong, and Jonathan Bach, and published by the University of Chicago Press.

[1] Chapter 2 "Heroes of the Special Zone: Modeling Reform and Its Limits" by Mary Ann O'Donnell discussed the politicians who built Shenzhen.

[2] Emma Xin Ma and Adrian Blackwell wrote the chapter "The Political Architecture of the First and Second Lines", Chapter 6, where they discuss how the Frontier Closed Area, the border between mainland China and Hong Kong, promotes the movement of goods and people while also preserving the characteristics of the respective areas, resulting in what June Wang (Chinese: 王珺; pinyin: Wáng Jùn), of the City University of Hong Kong, calls a "paradoxical character".

[1] A version of the book has a foreword by Ezra Vogel about how he walked on the Lo Wu Bridge while traveling from Hong Kong to Shenzhen.

[1] Hai Ren (任海; Rén Hǎi) of the University of Arizona wrote that the chapters were "well researched and well written".
