First sentence: The analysis of the emergence of modern economic development in China has centred on four issues: the categorisation of the everall experience within the spectrum form decline through stagnation to growth and development; the extent of the foreign involvement and the nature of its relationship to the domistic economy; the complex interaction of forces which determined the dynamics of change in the increasingly labour-abundant land-scare rural economy; and the role of the state.
