The Chinese Communist Party Hierarchy during the Cold War and After
2026-04-01 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | S354, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street, 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Join us to hear the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with Party demands.

China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is one of the most powerful individuals in the world—and one of the least understood. Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913–2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao’s death. He led the Party’s United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party’s crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters.
The Party’s Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People’s Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one’s own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party’s demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping’s father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP—and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.

Stuck: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress
2026-04-09 17:00 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, Berkeley, CA, 94720, United States
Hear Maya Kornberg explain how campaign costs, party power, violence, and social media fuel dysfunction in Congress—and how we might fix it.

Why hasn’t decades of reform made Congress work better? In her new book, Stuck, political scientist and Brennan Center for Justice Senior Fellow Maya Kornberg examines why waves of idealistic, reform-minded lawmakers—from the post-Watergate class of 1974 to the diverse cohort elected in 2018—have repeatedly found themselves constrained by Congress’s internal dynamics.
Join the Goldman School of Public Policy for a conversation with Kornberg about how rising campaign costs, centralized party power, political violence, and the pressures of social media have made Congress increasingly inhospitable to change—and what it might take to fix the dysfunction in our nation’s Capitol.

This event is part of the Goldman School of Public Policy’s Democracy Book Club series, which features authors whose work enriches our understanding of democracy by examining the institutions, policies, and civic traditions that shape democratic life.
