'This book is a valuable contribution to our fuller understanding of China's post 1949 economic development' - Christopher Howe, The China Quarterly, 196, December 2008


"'This book is a valuable contribution to our fuller understanding of China's post 1949 economic development' - Christopher Howe, The China Quarterly, 196, December 2008 ""Mitcham reviews the economic and foreign trade diplomacy conducted between China on the one hand and Japan and the West on the other. A particular focus of the work is on how China’s diplomatic policies successfully undermined the American-led trade embargo between 1949 and 1979. Another major and interrelated theme is the gradual Chinese abandonment of Mao’s policy of self-reliance through a halting “readjustment” process based on reduced industrialization targets; the gradual lessening of Chinese economic dependence on the Soviet Union; the purchase of Western and Japanese equipment, complete industrial installations, related technology, and technical support, and a return to the pre-revolutionary policy of importing Western grain."" --Reference & Research Book News"
