Description

China's economic and social progress toward modernization is one of the defining features of the last quarter of the 20th century.

The emergence of China coincides with another development of equally important international implications-the revolution in information and telecommunication technology.

But how compatible are the new China and the information age?

The Chinese government intends to embrace market-oriented economic development while maintaining centralized control over politics, culture, and public discourse.

The contradictions and tensions of this goal are especially acute in telecommunication and information technology markets, where the rest of the world is moving rapidly toward liberalization and globalization.

Will China's economic reforms allow it to join the information revolution, or will its unique political structure keep it insulated from the main currents of global economic development?

This volume is the first detailed examination of how China's reform process is playing out in the realm of information and telecommunications.
