Summary
The book concludes with a summary on how the environmental health crisis is undermining China’s international ascendance, as well as implications for China’s political development. It contends that the crisis and government response reveal a Chinese state whose political system is both resilient and fragile, and that the China model does not constitute a viable alternative to liberal democracy.
