Market System in China
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The People's Republic of China (PRC) plays a major role in the post-Cold War world. It is the world's most populous nation with approximately 1.2 billion people, and the third largest in land mass after Russia and Canada. It has nuclear weapons and is a growing military power. As one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China has veto power over Security Council resolutions dealing with key multilateral issues, including international peace-keeping and the resolution of regional conflicts.

Against this backdrop, the impulse to direct and reallocate China's internal resources and foreign investment toward lagging hinterland regions may prove ineffective. The experiences of the Western market economies as well as the former Soviet Union suggest that efforts to disperse industry in some sort of "geographically equitable" manner have usually failed.
