The best book about the topic I know

This book contains a lot of information about not only the political events but especially about the discussions among the intellectuals who are active in democracy-related topics, about emerging groups and their opinions and actions with a focus on important persons and presents their history, statements, activities and conflicts with administration and government. It provides a very dense description and the quality is comparable with the book "China. A New History" which she published as a successor of John K. Fairbank. But this one her goes - of course - much more into detail.
