Abstract

With its rapid economic development, China has become the world's second largest country in terms of economic aggregate. However, China, with a sprawling population of 1.35 billion and a land mass of 9.6 million square kilometers, is experiencing economic development that is far from balanced.

To comprehensively and accurately understand it is a daunting task, especially from non-Chinese perspectives. This book, through extensive introduction, provides international comparisons and in-depth analysis to help readers both abroad and at home to comprehensively and accurately understand Chinese economy.
