In the 26 years since market-oriented reforms were introduced, China has emerged onto the world stage as a major economic presence, particularly since her accession to the World Trade Organisation in 2001.This book is a collection of papers on the effects of globalisation on China's growth prospects and of China's growth on the wider economy. The issues explored include the sustainability of China's continuing economic reform and the necessary reforms to sustain that growth; the considerable effects of her integration into the global economy and its implications for the conduct of Chinese economic policies, including the exchange rate regime; and the influence of China on the regional and world economy. China's competitiveness in exports has also begun to challenge the market share of developing and developed economies; this role in promoting intra-regional trade is also explored.

This book offers a concise and authoritative interpretation of China’s strategic direction in the new era. Led by Cai Fang, Chief Expert of the National High-End Think Tank of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, it explains the theoretical foundations and policy logic behind China’s uniquely defined path to modernization.Grounded in high-quality development, the book examines key dimensions of China’s future trajectory, including the modern economic system, innovation-driven governance, industrial upgrading, rural revitalization, education equity, income distribution, and the pursuit of common prosperity. It identifies critical bottlenecks and provides practical recommendations for advancing long-term development.Accessible and forward-looking, this volume helps readers understand China’s top-level design, its modernization goals, and emerging opportunities. It is essential reading for policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and anyone seeking to understand China’s evolving global role.

This is an authored volume of Dr. Yao's “big-picture” writings on China and the West, translated by David Ownby. Those writings are selected from his writings as a public intellectual, reflecting his thought on China’s path of modernization and the effort to rebuild a political philosophy based on Confucianism, his interpretation of China’s political system and his prescriptions to improve it. A moderate, yet influential scholar, Yao's work has had great influence on Chinese social and economic policymakers; his project of renewing China's traditional value system is an important position, as Chinese reforms begin to focus on equity and inclusion. In an engaging, at times personal, and thoughtful volume, Dr. Yao's vision of a gentler Chinese society will interest Sinologists, political scientists, and journalists.
