Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Oversized. Retired library book with usual library markings. From the Foreword: The Chinese Government began to carry out an over-all reform and magnificent reconstruction program in the areas of politics, encomics, science, technology, culture etc. at the end of 1970s, and since the beginning of the 1980s, it has adopted a series of effective measures to accelerate the progress of industry, agriculture, national defence and science and technology. New achievements have been gained in the past one to two years. The government's new policies have already given impetus to China's peasants who constitute 80% of China's one-billion population. They have displayed unprecedented enthusiasm in production. Good grain harvests have been produced for several years running and industrial crops such as cotton, oil-bearing crops, etc. have increased in production. The peasants have improved their living standard to a greater or lesser extent. On the other hand, industrial production has developed rapidly and has increased by a substantial margin. New achievements have been made and new heights attained in the sectors of science, technology, culture and education as a result of the initiative of the intellectuals being brought into full play. Now China is vigorously advocating democracy and strictly enforcing law and discipline, and consequently the Chinese people have become more open-hearted and full of vigour and vitality. Tremendous changes have taken place in this ancient country which, together with its future development, has drawn the attention of the people of other countries around the world. In recent years, the Chinese Government has pursued an external open-door policy in that it imports large-scale pioneering technology and equipment from abroad on the one hand, and on the other it urges foreign investment and all kinds of economic cooperation and renders legal and long-term guarantee for such investment and cooperation. This has aroused great interest from foreign financial as well as industrial circles. Foreign countries think highly of the achievements China has made in this respect. As the Government has put forward a target of quadrupling its gross industrial and agricultural output value at the end of this century, foreigners now look at China's economic construction with new eyes. Considering its geographical position and the population of one billion, the progress and development of China will have great impact on the world and China will certainly make a due contribution in maintaining peace in Asia and the world as a whole and in promoting economic and cultural exchanges among the people of various countries throughout the world. The compilation and publication of the China Official Yearbook 1983/4 (hereinafter called the Yearbook) will surely be well received by foreign readers of different circles as it contains authentic and reliable material and data officially issued by the government departments of the People's Republic of China. It also carries 20 special articles by authoritative and responsible figures from various sectors of China exclusively written for the Yearbook. They fully and authentically reflect the real situation of the changes and development China is undergoing. The Yearbook includes important events which took place in 1982 and in the first half of 1983, and the latest materials and statistical data promulgated by the government departments during this period. The key note of the Yearbook is that all authentic facts, which came into being in the past one and a half year and are here duly recorded, have great referential value and can be trusted as accurate representation of actuality.
