Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China by Ezra Vogel is very thorough and detailed, and it mostly spares you the annoying moralizing that a lot of English-language authors feel compelled to use when writing about geopolitical rivals. It's like 700 pages so be prepared but all in all a good resource.
