History of socialist China? (hexbear.net)

Can anyone recommend a good book of the history of Chinese socialism? I'm interested in a complete overview from Mao to Jinping but not sure which books are going to be more or less biased from a western point of view. Written by actual Chinese people would be best.

I recommend it too. Read it last year. My main takeaway was in fact "read the Chinese Marxists more". They are super based for the single reason of having put in practice Marxism for ~80 years. Let no Western Marxist ever weasel out of the fact there is almost zero practical governmental experience in Western socialist-communist cadres. "China bad" actually is "China knows".
