Michael Schoenhals

Michael Schoenhals (born 1953) is a Swedish sinologist, specializing in the society of modern China. He is Professor Emeritus of Chinese Studies at Lund University.

The book Mao's Last Revolution by Roderick MacFarquhar and Michael Schoenhals is considered the seminal work on the Cultural Revolution.[1]

Analysis

Publishing in 1992, Schoenhals contended that if all fora, including private conversation, are compared, political discourse in China "is probably no more restricted with respect to content than political discourse in the United States or the former Soviet Union."[2]: 116
