The obvious changes--the T-shirts, blue jeans, makeup and jewelry worn by Chinese youth; the disco music blaring from radios and loudspeakers on Chinese streets; the television antennas mushrooming from both urban apartment complexes and suburban peasant housing; the bustling free markets selling meat, vegetables and clothing in China's major cities--reflect a fundamental shift in the government's policy toward the economy and political life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough doubts about the long-term commitment to reform arose after the student protests in December 1986 and the dismissal of Party General Secretary Hu Yaobang in January 1987, the scope of reform has been so broad and the pace of change so rapid, that the post-Mao era fully warrants Den Xiaoping's description of it as the second revolution undertaken by the Chinese Communist Party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Harding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brookings Institution Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.07w x 1.11d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815734611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHarry Harding\u003c\/b\u003e, a senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies program at Brookings since 1983, has written several books on China, including \u003ci\u003eOrganizing China\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1986 recipient of the Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize.
