Download or read book China's Long March Toward a Market Economy written by Jinglian Wu and published by LONG RIVER PRESS. This book was released on 2005 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International interest in China is increasing. Not surprisingly, China-related news is hitting the headlines of leading international media. This is well grounded, given the fact that China is the largest developing country in the world with almost a quarter of the world's population. However, many reports on China are self-contradictory, which again reveals the complexities of a nation that has experienced dramatic change for over a century. For the outsider, it is virtually impossible to follow China's overriding trends of change without understanding its past and present. This book provides a chronological record of the major changes that have taken place in the Chinese economy over the past five decades.
