Book Title: Wild Ride: A Short History of the Opening and Closing of the Chinese Economy
Author: Anne Stevenson Yang Headline: Early Economic Opening and Author's Unexpected Role in Xian
In 1994,
Anne Stevenson Yang was invited to
Xian,
China, to represent a business council, unexpectedly finding herself the esteemed speaker at a trade show. This marked the "second decade of the Chinese miracle," a stark contrast to her 1985 experience as an editorialist at
China Pictorial, where employees slept on desks in a profoundly non-capitalistic culture.
