China’s recent phenomenal economic growth has been sustained primarily by China’s rapid and continuous industrialisation. Currently industry accounts for over two-thirds of China’s gross domestic product, and since 2009 China has been the world’s largest exporter of manufactured products. This book explores the question of how far this industrial growth has been the product of government policies.

It provides valuable insights for scholars and policy makers to comprehend the evolving nature of China’s industrial policies."Chen Li, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, SAR, China.
