As China becomes more and more market-oriented, the spatial development dilemmas it encounters are more and more like those one finds in capitalist nations. This book, an updated edition of China’s spatial economy (OUP 1990), both illustrates and examines the growing differences between and within the increasingly diverse regions of China. The contributors to this volume look to the future of China’s major economic regions in light of the numerous problems this country now faces. Also, they show how these problems are affecting various parts of China in different ways.
