Description:	China has experienced 26 years of rapid economic growth at the time of writing this preface. It seems that the momentum of growth is continuing and there is optimism that it can be sustained for at least another 20 years of high growth. In 2003, China became the fourth largest exporter in the world and the largest recipient of foreign capital inflows. Measured in nominal dollars, per capita GDP surpassed a milestone level of 1,000, a level that Deng Xiao Ping wished to achieve by 2010 when he highlighted his vision of industrialising China in the early 1980s. Measured in PPP dollars, China was well ahead of Japan and ranked number two in the world in terms of total GDP. In a sense, China has established itself as one of the world’s economic superpowers, alongside the US, Japan and the European Union. It is the world’s largest producer of basic products, including grains, meats, cotton lint, peanuts, rapeseed, fruits, steel, coal, cement, chemical fertilizers and television. In 2003, China produced more steel and steel products than the combined output of the world’s two largest economies, US and Japan
