ABSTRACT
One consequence of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms has been the emergence, or re-emergence, of a civil society in China. 1 This chapter will explore the contributions of the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, the National Committee on US–China Relations, and The 1990 Institute to China’s civil society. Chinese state, non-state, and quasi-state actors have invited this American participation, but they have also sought to retain control of the agenda.
