About the author

Summary

Chinese foreign economic policy before 1978 has been considered isolationist and centered on Maoist self-reliance. This title describes the contradictory strategies used by Mao Zedong and other leaders to assert China's absolute self-sufficiency while also striving to modernize the economy and achieve maximum prosperity as rapidly as possible.
