Description
Science and Technology in Post-Mao China explores the significant changes that have taken place in Chinese science and technology since the end of the Maoist era. This collection of essays examines various aspects of the current science and technology scene, comparing them to the past and speculating about future trends. The book delves into the impact of reforms on specific areas such as medical care, agriculture, and military research and development, demonstrating how these changes have affected China's shift towards professional expertise in science and technology. It also investigates China's interface with the world through technology transfer, highlighting the tension between the Chinese Communist Party's strict control and the scientific community's need for free information flow. By analyzing the organizational system, human resources, and market forces, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of Chinese science and technology, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play in this rapidly evolving field.
