By Wei Lin and Oliver Barron
Foreign Languages Press
China is at a crossroads, with change and reform needed to ensure its meteoric rise onto the global stage continues. Reading Between the Lines contains the most comprehensive review of current economic policy and a realistic outlook as to what reforms may come to pass. The authors analyze the unique historical conditions that have led China’s economy to where it is now, and how historical and cultural factors affect the decisions that are likely to be made in the future. This work sheds light on the Chinese economy and explains why and how some quintessentially Chinese practices are used to solve problems, highlighting both the positive and negative effects of China’s distinctive economic model. Contained within these pages is everything you need to know to understand China’s economy and how policy is enacted and carried out.
Chinese policies are not always easy to dissect. They are often wide-sweeping and somewhat ambiguous. Therefore, to make sure we end with the correct interpretation, the authors, one Chinese and one American, continually exchanged views in careful discussion for more than two years. The dialogue was not simply a question-and-answer or fact-seeking process, but rather, a consensus forming, and balancing-out process, creating new ideas and broadening perspectives.

The Tang Dynasty (618-907) was a golden era in Chinese history. Rooted in its political strength and economic prosperity, the splendor of its culture makes its influence felt even today.

This book is an overview of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, including its literature, calligraphy, painting, dancing, arts and crafts, fashion and architecture, all of which have had a formative influence on Chinese culture.
