By 1999, the Falungong religious movement had spread widely and broadly throughout China. The government cracked down hard on the movement and its repression of it over six years is an example of how the Chinese state operates in the face of perceived internal threats.

By 1999, the Falungong religious movement had spread widely and broadly throughout China. While on the surface its ideology of spiritual and physical cultivation did not seem threatening, the Chinese government felt otherwise. Revenge of the Forbidden City is the definitive account of China's response to Falungong. As James Tong shows, the episode tells us a great deal about the Chinese state's political institutions, its media apparatus, and its formidable ability to crush dissent. The result is a book that will be essential for any scholar interested in how the Chinese state actually operates.
