Der Verfasser setzt sich mit der Loyalität der chinesischen Intellektuellen gegenüber der kommunistischen Führung auseinander. Absolute Loyalität, opportunistische Loyalität und Karriereorientierung, Parteiloyalität sowie eine normativ begründete kritische Loyalität werden als unterschiedliche Typen der Loyalität von Intellektuellen in der chinesischen Gesellschaft herausgearbeitet.
