This book explores the forces that impelled China, the world's
largest socialist state, to make massive changes in its domestic
and international stance during the long 1970s. Fourteen
distinguished scholars investigate the special, perhaps crucial
part that the territory of Hong Kong played in encouraging and
midwifing China's relationship with the non-Communist world. The
Long 1970s were the years when China moved dramatically and
decisively toward much closer relations with the non-Communist
world. In the late 1970s, China also embarked on major economic
reforms, designed to win it great power status by the early
twenty-first centuries. The volume addresses the long-term
implications of China's choices for the outcome of the Cold War and
in steering the global international outlook toward free-market
capitalism. Decisions made in the 1970s are key to understanding
the nature and policies of the Chinese state today and the
worldview of current Chinese leaders.
