China’s Opening-Up from a Global Perspective

China's Opening-Up from a Global Perspective examines four decades of China's reform and opening-up through historical, international, and economic lenses. Bringing together research on globalization, foreign trade, foreign investment, global value chains, regional development, and the international expansion of Chinese enterprises, the book traces China's transformation from a relatively closed economy into a major participant in the world economy. It also explores the changing global environment, the Belt and Road Initiative, China-U.S. economic relations, and the opportunities and challenges facing further opening-up. Combining historical review, comparative analysis, policy discussion, and economic data, this volume offers a structured account of how opening-up has shaped China's development and its relationship with the global economy. It is particularly suited to readers interested in Chinese economics, international trade, globalization, development studies, and contemporary China.
