Description

Explore the hidden history of global trade during a period of intense political tension. This volume, part of the Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy, examines the complex economic ties between China, the West, and Japan from 1949 to 1979. While official policies during these decades focused on Chinese self-sufficiency and Western trade embargoes, this research reveals a different reality. Based on extensive original research, the text details how China remained highly dependent on grain imports from Western and Japanese sources. It provides a detailed look at how various interest groups, representing grain producers and related industries, successfully navigated and bypassed official embargoes to maintain trade. This book offers a clear view of the economic realities that existed beneath the surface of official diplomatic stances, making it a valuable resource for those studying business and economic history.

Key Features

Provides an in-depth look at Chinese economic dependency on Western and Japanese grain imports between 1949 and 1979.

Uses extensive original research to uncover how trade continued despite official US and allied embargoes.

Examines the influence of lobbying groups representing grain producers and related industries on international trade.

Part of the Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy series for academic and historical study.

Offers a detailed analysis of the gap between official diplomatic policies and actual economic relations.
