Features: The author has recently developed a strong interest in empirical political economy and has begun using this perspective to explain major theoretical frameworks, such as what determines China's economic growth. The author prefers concepts like "local governments competing for growth" and "government governance" to explain China's economic growth and the growth differences between China and India. Since the author's research primarily focuses on the Chinese economy, and most of these economic essays are critiques and explanations of various aspects of the Chinese economy, the author ultimately decided to title the book "Understanding the Chinese Economy." For convenience, the author has broadly categorized these articles into "Current Priorities," "Ways of Growth," "Economic Thinking," "National Affairs," "Economic Questions," and "Speeches." However, on the whole, these writings are reflections and observations recorded by the author as he reads the "big book" of the Chinese economy. These texts can be seen as footnotes to the author's process of researching the Chinese economy.
The content of this book includes:
Current Priorities;
Ways of Growth;
Economic Thinking;
National Affairs;

Speeches.
