China’s Economic Challenge: Smashing the Iron Rice Bowl: Smashing the Iron Rice Bowl

Neil C. Hughes

This book lays bare the reality behind China’s efforts at economic modernization by showing: (1) what is happening to the industrial forces that help shape the economy; (2) how economic agents have behaved; (3) what government intentions really are; and (4) how the transition from a centralized to a market-oriented economy has been filled with contradictions and difficult choices. The author examines issues such as China’s WTO membership; the Three Gorges Project; the widening differences between the urban and rural areas; the government’s efforts to protect its own interests and maintain stability; the impact of reform; and the situation facing state enterprises, the banking system, the agricultural sector, and the environment.
