The author, president of the PRC Academy of Social Sciences, attempts to answer the question why China must follow a socialist road and must not follow a capitalist one, paying special attention to the concrete conditions of China's social and historical development. After narrating briefly the history of China since the middle of the 19th century, the author traces its industrialisation, reform movements, role of the Communist Party of China in the democratic revolution of China, founding of the PRC in 1949, its social, political and economic development since then among other topics.
