How did the once-secretive, isolated People's Republic of China
become the factory to the world? Shelley Rigger convincingly
demonstrates that the answer is Taiwan. She follows the evolution
of Taiwan's influence from the period when Deng Xiaoping lifted
Mao's prohibitions on business in the late 1970s, allowing
investors from Taiwan to collaborate with local officials in the
PRC to transform mainland China into a manufacturing powerhouse.
After World War II, Taiwan's fleet-footed export-oriented
manufacturing firms became essential links in global supply chains.
In the late 1980s, Taiwanese firms seized the opportunity to lower
production costs by moving to the PRC, which was seeking foreign
investment to fuel its industrial rise. Within a few years,
Taiwan's traditional manufacturing had largely relocated to the
PRC, opening space for a wave of new business creation in
information technology. The Tiger Leading the Dragon traces the
development of the cross-Taiwan Strait economic relationship and
explores how Taiwanese firms and individuals transformed Chinese
business practices. It also reveals their contributions to Chinese
consumer behavior, philanthropy, religion, popular culture, and
law.
