Participants joined us as Professor David Bachman examined the last 100 years of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and looked ahead to what we might expect for the future of the CCP and China as a whole. The first hour of this online program consisted of a presentation by Professor Bachman, and the second hour was dedicated to questions and comments from participants. Participants also received a free copy of the book The Chinese Communist Party: A Century in 10 Lives, by Timothy Cheek, Klaus Mühlhahn and Hans Van de Ven.
