{"product_id":"9781739424312","title":"Wild Ride : A short history of the opening and closing of the Chinese economy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary story of China's spectacular but ultimately short-lived attempt to transform its society through Western-style capitalism. Drawing on four decades of experience living and working in China - from the roaring '80s when it first opened to the world to the rise of Xi Jinping and the advent of Covid-19 when the Communist country shut down. Anne Stevenson-Yang tells a frank and timely account of the Chinese Communist Party's attempts to cling onto power first through market liberalisation, then total control at every level of society. Wild Ride is a sobering reminder of the reality of communist China, that under all the veneer of economic growth is a repressive system bent on authoritarian power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bui Jones Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48860394389739,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.11,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781739424312-1.jpg?v=1781701294","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781739424312","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
