Rapid change has also created tensions within Chinese society: a new middle class and a small, wealthy elite contrast with a far larger number who feel they have yet to benefit from the new economy. Corruption and abuse of power have emerged as a potent source of discontent across Chinas social divide.
In this fully revised second edition, China Since 1949 traces key events from the Maoist era through the Reform period to the present day. The promises and challenges of Chinas rise are explored within the context of the countrys remarkable transformation and the countrys new position as an international powerhouse.
The ideal text for courses in Chinese Studies.
