| book description |

This book assesses and critiques the legal right of access to government-held information in China with a special focus on legislative history, rationales, statutory language and efficacy of the Open Government Information (OGI) Regulations enacted in 2007 by the Chinese government. The book, written by a former Chinese journalist who later became an American professor of journalism, combines thorough examination and insightful commentary on relevant statutes and court cases with in-depth interviews with Chinese legal scholars, lawyers, journalists and government officials. Â For anyone with an interest in Chinaâ€™s legal and informational systems in general and its freedom of information law in particular, the book is a must read that not only explains why Chinaâ€™s first freedom of information law failed so miserably when it was needed the most in a COVID-19 pandemic but also sheds light on the worldâ€™s largest and most sophisticated propaganda apparatus that controls and manipulates flow of information in and outside of China.
