Dr. Long’s book traces how foreign organizations shaped China’s public health bureaucracy between 1978 and 2018. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, it demonstrates how the Chinese state absorbed foreign liberal norms to both strengthen health institutions and reinforce authoritarian control—dynamics that were crucial in affecting China’s COVID-19 response and the rights of marginalized groups like urban gay men.
