China may be evolving into an economic super power but many critics believe its latest skirmish with protesters opposed to its handling of Tibet prove China is still in the dark ages. Hari Sharma, an SFU sociology professor emeritus, can talk about the China's handling of protestors from a human rights perspective and the age-old controversy surrounding China's policy on Tibet.

He can also draw on perspectives in his timely new book Critical Perspectives on China's Economic Transformation. In it, he analyses a worldwide progressive circle of academics' and economists' views of China as a model of third world economic development. Sharma says nothing could be further from the truth.
