State and Society in China: Reforming the Financial Sector.
This paper discusses the recent changes in China's banking industry and points out important points in transition economies. The banking system is only now confronting the reality of life in a market economy where poor lending policies translate, appropriately, into bankruptcy, even for banks. While it is difficult to draw conclusions from this it remains essential to note that transition, development and integration into the global market all proceeded rapidly regardless of the stagnation in the banking sector. 10 pgs. 18 f/c. 13b.
