China's Economic Development, 1950-2014: Fundamental Changes and
Long-Term Prospects is a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of
Chinese economic development from 1950-2014 focusing on current
world-wide attention to the economic reform. Chu-yuan Cheng covers
a wide range of topics, including the cultural effects and
ideological influences on China's economic development; the process
of China's transition from a planned to a market economy,

and the process and consequence of the "Quiet Revolution"; the
international economic relations including the U.S.-China,
Sino-Japanese economic relations and access to WTO; economic
relations across the Taiwan Strait and the formation of the Greater
China Economic Sphere; and the long-term development prospect of
the Chinese economy in the twenty-first century and beyond.
The 1989 prodemocracy movement in the People's Republic of China
and the subsequent crackdown were marked by many dramatic
reversals. Supported at first by several thousand Beijing
University students, the movement quickly attracted millions of
followers and developed into a nationwide mass movement. The
jubilant mood during the short-lived freedom in Tiananmen Square
turned into despair over the unnecessary bloodshed. The event
raised many deeply disturbing questions: Was the massacre necessary
and justified? What is the historical significance of this
movement? Which path will the PRC follow in the decade ahead?
Although no one had anticipated the tragic outcome, the popular
unrest was not totally unexpected. When I read the news of 200,000
Beijing students and residents, in open defiance of the
government's order, staging a largescale demonstration on Apri120,
I knew a confrontation between the people and the government was
inevitable.

This book demonstrates how two goals – the substitution of
socialist views for embedded traditional values, and the use of
China's actual and potential economic surpluses – have together
formed the features of China's economic development.

economic ideas as seen in his major work, The Three Principles of
the People, which discusses nationalism, democracy, and people's
welfare, examining his doctrines as well as a his ideas with other

How has the government of the PRC transformed traditional economic
institutions into a socialist, central-planning system? What has
been the impact of this transformation on China's economic growth?
What is the essence of the Chinese development model and how

This book provides a study of the causes of the 1989 spring unrest
in China from various angles such as social, economic, political,
intellectual, and military. It is concerned with why Tiananmen
Square massacre occurred and what factors are likely to shape the
People's Republic of China future.
Economic development in mainland China during the first two decades
of Communist control provides a typical example for the difficult
task to transform a vast underdeveloped agrarian economy into a
modern industrial one. In the first half of this period, a series
of massive transformations of social and economic institutions was
accompanied by a drafted industrialization program; the result was
an impressive speed-up in economic growth. The second decade
witnessed an economic crisis (1960-62) and a political upheaval
(1966-68). These disruptions marred the economic performance over
the period as a whole. Consequently, the long-term growth rate
appears to have been only moderate. The Economy of Communist China
reviews selected aspects of the economy. After examining the
development strategy, it analyzes the quantitative trends and the
structural changes. The book goes on to analyze the key factors
contributing to the earlier growth and the elements responsible for
the later disruption and finally assesses the impact of the
Cultural Revolution on the Chinese economy and the prospects of the
current Third Five-Year Plan. The text includes a bibliography of
selected materials on Chinese economic development.
China's efforts to stimulate industrial development and economic
growth through the allocation of investments are analyzed. Cheng
concludes with an overall assessment of the distinctive features of
the allocation pattern. Includes 41 statistical tables.
