Roland Boer's work is useful because it's meticulously well-researched and sourced. Unfortunatley, for someone actively hostile to the idea of democracy in China, simple works are easily tossed aside as "propaganda."

Do you have a pdf for Boer's book on SWCC? I've wanted to read it but haven't been able to find it.
