The Chinese Jasper Becker

The Chinese explores the impact that a quarter-century of economic reform has had upon the Chinese people, offering an insider's look at the issues which affect and shape China today, such as poverty, tax issues, agriculture, the roles of the army and the Communist party. In short, this book challenges the notion that China's economy is under control and has no widespread or long-term consequences for its people. Having been a reporter in China since the 1980's, Jasper Becker has written this book from the viewpoint of its people, not the government or from an outsider's perspective.
