China's economic and social progress toward modernization is one of
the defining features of the last quarter of the 20th century. The
emergence of China coincides with another development of equally
important international implications--the revolution in information
and telecommunication technology. But how compatible are the new
China and the information age? The Chinese government intends to
embrace market-oriented economic development while maintaining
centralized control over politics, culture, and public discourse.
The contradictions and tensions of this goal are especially acute
in telecommunication and information technology markets, where the
rest of the world is moving rapidly toward liberalization and
globalization. Will China's economic reforms allow it to join the
information revolution, or will its unique political structure keep
it insulated from the main currents of global economic development?
This volume is the first detailed examination of how China's reform
process is playing out in the realm of information and
telecommunications.
