Home to the world's oldest continuous civilization and largest
population, China has been a communist country since the end of
World War II. But since the late 1970s, the country has experienced
profound social, economic, and political change. Its rapidly
developing market economy stands as the second largest in the world
after the United States, and hundreds of millions of its citizens
have been lifted out of poverty. This rapid growth has resulted in
an emerging middle class whose spending power has redefined the
Chinese market. After 30 years of economic liberalization, what
were once luxuries--dining out with friends, vacations, and
multiple cars--are now seen as rights by the younger Chinese, some
of whom are calling for increased freedoms from the communist
government. In this new edition of China, learn how the economic
changes have started to inspire change in other areas of Chinese
life and culture. This revised edition covers recent events, such
as the Beijing Olympics, the May 2008 earthquake that killed an
estimated 80,000 citizens, and the first spacewalk by a Chinese
astronaut.
