Transforming China provides an insider's comprehensive and perceptive examination of China's economic reform and its political implications. With wide-ranging primary materials, including interviews, surveys and author's own recollections of Deng Xiaoping and Zhao Ziyang, the book sheds new light on the Chinese approach to reform, including its dual-goal, dynamic gradualism and reform leadership. It assesses the vast social and political changes set forth by the reform, especially multiplying socio-political problems, and the international ramifications of China's rise.
