Examining factors that shaped Chinese liberal thought, Fung argues that the reasons democracy was thwarted during the 1930s and 1940s were more political than cultural. The Nationalist era contained the germs of a reformist, liberal order, he asserts, and the legacy of this era is evident in the post-Mao pro-democracy movement.
