Editorial Reviews

Delves into the political and bureaucratic forces that have shaped the Chinese effort to reduce imports of passenger automobiles since the middle 1970s. Draws highly from interviews with people in foreign automobile companies doing business in China, reporting their experiences with personalities, local and national government, and changing policies in terms of the companies' own goals and strategies.
