Description

'Made in China' explores the incredible progress of Chinese industry over the last century, focused primarily on the period following the 1978 Chinese Economic Reform, better known as 'Reform and Opening-Up'. From the elementary stages of manufacturing to the innovative specialisation of today's various industries, this book charts China's development on the course to becoming one of the world's highest performing industrial powers. With reference to various global campaigns in which China has been involved, there is an underlying thread that tells of the nation's competitive growth alongside various foreign powers, which has ultimately given rise to a localised and powerful Chinese industry.
