About this book
of China from 1949 to 2020, unravelling the complex domestic and global factors
leading to the cyclical crises identified by WEN and his research team, and
examining the corresponding counteracting policies and measures by the
government to resolve or defer the crises. The book offers profound insights into
China’s endeavours and predicaments on the path of modernization, and
contemplates opportunities and lessons for the forging of alternative trajectories
not only for China but also for the global south: to reconstruct rural communities
for integrated cooperation and governance, and to revitalize ecological civilization.
