Book Chapter
The Forbidden City
2012
Overview
This chapter explores how the workings of the Forbidden City in imperial times serve as a metaphor for China's government and political practice today. Forbidden City, the heart of China's capital, is a masterpiece that belongs to both China and the world, for surely by now half the world must have walked through its spaces. Perhaps the significance of its structural layout exceeds even the riches left by the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties and goes to the heart of Chinese organizational culture. As the China Development Bank's attempt to replace the Ministry of Finance in the bond markets and the tug of war between the MOF and the People's Bank of China over control of the major banks have shown, there is a great deal of predatory behavior exhibited within the walls of this monumental edifice. China has been a series of booms and busts within its overall growth story; it deserves and repays far closer scrutiny from all sides, including the Chinese themselves, but especially from those in the West.
