50 Years On: China’s Place In The World Economy


The 50th anniversary of the founding of New China is a good time to reflect on China’s place in the world economic community. The 1990s have spawned many books and magazine cover stories with titles like China: the Next Economic Superpower and China as Number One. CEQ is a little more sanguine.
