A study of China from the 1800s. It focuses on China's problems of development - the decay and collapse of the Chinese Empire, its failure to recover in the first half of the 20th-century, and its emergence in world affairs since the Communist Party Revolution of 1949. Examining economic growth, it offers an account of the Tiananmen Incident.
