The riveting and disturbing account of society in the People's Republic of China (Communist China). What lurks behind the bamboo curtain is a society in disarray, a government teetering on the brink of collapse, with an ever tightening grip on the throats of the Chinese people. In this work, Mr. Allen exposes the seamy underbelly of what is represented as a cultured society, but is in fact a decadent and collapsing culture devoid of moral compass or social rules and etiquette. No stone is left unturned or unthrown in this scathing account of China, and her Secret Shame.
