"China exerts increasing influence on the global economy, and the country's fascinating and turbulent recent history demands our understanding. This overview tells the story of a century that saw three political revolutions and considerable social and cultural upheaval." "The book concludes with a discussion of recent reforms by the Chinese Communist Party in its aim to raise the living standards of the country's 1.3 billion inhabitants and strengthen the foundations of one-party rule."--Jacket.
