Summary

China has, since 1976, been enmeshed in an extraordinary program of renewal and reform. The obvious changes-- the T-shirts, blue jeans, makeup, and jewelry worn by Chinese youth; the disco music blaring form radios and loudspeakers on Chinese Streets; the televisor antennas mushrooming form the urban apartment complexes and suburban peasant housing; the bustling free markets selling meat, vegatabels, and clothing in Chin's major cities-- reflect a fundamental shift in the government's policy toward the economy and political life.
