Richard McGregor: The Party (2012)

"with Chinese characteristics"

Although not quoted directly in this text, Art 1 Sec 1 of the Constitution of the PRC weighs heavily over this text. "The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. "

This is a great primer for the way the party/state/economy of China functions and how the party maintains that "leadership" across the years.
