內容簡介
China today is never out of the news: from international finance to human rights controversies, global coverage of its rising international presence, and the Chinese ˊeconomic miracleˊ. It seems to be a country of contradictions: a peasant society with some of the worldˊs most futuristic
cities, heir to an ancient civilization that is still trying to find a modern identity.
ThisVery Short Introduction offers the reader an entry to understanding the worldˊs most populous nation, giving an integrated picture of modern Chinese society, culture, economy, politics, and art. In this new edition, Rana Mitter addresses Chinaˊs current global position, accounting for the
countryˊs growth in global significance over the past decade.
