Legitimacy of China’s Counter-Terrorism Approach The Mass Line Ethos

“Chi Zhang’s Legitimacy of China’s Counter-Terrorism Approach. The Mass Line Ethos sheds light on the ideological foundations and practical implications of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) counter-terrorism approach. As such, the book offers a timely critical assessment of the Chinese state’s action in Xinjiang from a Chinese scholarly perspective that takes the CCP’s ‘Mass Line’ ethos as a conceptual framework.” (Pablo A. Rodríguez-Merino, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 76 (3), 2024)

“Legitimacy of China’s Counter-Terrorism Approach remains a noteworthy contribution to the field. It is concisely written and contains both insight and provocative arguments relevant to not only specialists in Xinjiang and Uyghur studies but also those with an interest in Chinese security policy and terrorism and counter-terrorism studies.” (Michael Clarke, The China Quarterly, July 31, 2023)
