However, this book, based on extensive original research, demonstrates that China was highly dependent on Western/Japanese grain imports. The text shows that groups lobbying on behalf of Western/Japanese grain producers and related industries had successfully found ways of by-passing the embargo. This book charts the complicated picture of how economic relations between China, the West and Japan developed in these years Notes Title from PDF title page (viewed 6 Apr., 2009) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 222-270) and index Subject Grain trade -- Government policy -- China -- History -- 20th century Grain -- China -- Commercial policy -- History -- 20th century Commercial policy Economic history Economic policy Grain trade -- Government policy International economic relations SUBJECT China -- Economic policy -- 1949-1976. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024022 China -- Economic policy -- 1976-2000. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024024 China -- Economic conditions -- 1949-1976. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024015 China -- Economic conditions -- 1976-2000. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024017 China -- Commercial policy -- History -- 20th century China -- Foreign economic relations -- Western countries Western countries -- Foreign economic relations -- China China -- Foreign economic relations -- Japan Japan -- Foreign economic relations -- China Subject China Japan Western countries Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 0203561317 9780203561317
