Summary
"Contemporary China is a thought-provoking introduction to all aspects of political, economic and social life in China. Are China's communist leaders bringing back capitalism? Are they committed to the market economy, which has saved them from a Soviet-style collapse? Is China really set to become a major world power, a challenge to Japan or the United States? Is its dynamism sustainable or transient?"--BOOK JACKET
