China Boom: Nurturing the Socialist Marketplace

China’s economy today is clearly in a development stage, a mix of capitalism and communism, with distinctly Chinese characteristics. One day it is expected to be the world’s largest economy. This program examines the state of China’s economy, as the day of the state-protected job ends, and individual initiative counts. State-owned companies are selling shares on stock exchanges, and the growing private sector is battling bureaucratic inefficiency in an attempt to develop a stable environment for exports. In addition, the program examines such new phenomena for the Chinese as inflation, consumerism, an open labor market, and foreign investment. (16 minutes)
