Alford, a renowned U.S. legal scholar and expert in Chinese law; Boston University international relations and political science professor Joseph Fewsmith, who is highly recognized for his work on China's politics; and Carter Center China Program Director Yawei Liu, who has written and commented extensively on China's political developments and grassroots democracy.
