This volume includes discussions of trends in China's economic growth, which country or region will benefit from China's growth, foreign direct investment in the Chinese automotive industry and the deciding factors of rural poverty in China.
As part of a series produced by the Institute of World Economy & Politics (IWEP), a think-tank at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, this volume analyzes factors relating to recent economic development trends in China: e.g., the rate of growth, consumer finance, and rural as vs. urban poverty. A case study of a Sino-French venture in the Chinese automotive industry sheds light on foreign direct investment in the country. Material is based on empirical IWEP research.
