by Kang Yan,
translated by Robert H. Smitheram, with a preface by Wang Weigong
|
 |
Shanghai, the largest international city in China, is
currently experiencing vast global business interest from foreign
shores, and being the fastest growing region and the centre of the
Chinese economy, the workings of this fast-paced, financial epi-centre
is certainly a subject of immense interest. This book deals with the
development of the business world in China, focussing on changes and
events in Shanghai in the decade from 1990 to 2000. Already a bestseller
in its Chinese-language version, the book has now been translated into
English in order to bring to the wider world an understanding of the
fastest growing financial district in the world, both in terms of its
investments and trade opportunities and in terms of daily life in the
business community.
Deciphering Shanghai will give the
reader a sense of how developments over the last decade in Shanghai
could indicate the future of the entire country. Consequently, this book
offers the chance to learn from an insider about the financial situation
in Shanghai and China, while at the same time providing an opportunity
for its readers to immerse themselves in the immensely rich and varied
culture that is China today.
Kang Yan is Chief Editor of and reporter at the People’s Daily. At the
paper, she has been engaged with a series of important issues regarding
China’s reforms, focussing on the opening up of the country and its
further modernization, particularly in eastern China.
