This book should be required reading for everyone interested in understanding how the contentious issues of press freedom is viewed in China today. Sun Xupei proposes that China work toward a media system that is a cross between the current state-controlled media system and the commercial system of the West. While his ideas on press law may seem impractical or even abhorent to U.S. media scholars, nevertheless, they represent important statements of a brave man's personal and professional struggle to liberalize journalism in a nation that still is emerging from its feudal and bloody past. Dr. Xupei's voice has been heard in China for years as he has raised issues of press freedom that would otherwise have been overlooked. We can thank his editor for giving us this opportunity to hear his voice in the Westen world. -Dr. Maurine Beasley former writer for the Washington Post Professor of Journalism University of Maryland
