Westerners witnessing China's astonishing national transformation over the past three decades are familiar with the general outlines of the story of its economic miracle. But few people - even within China - know the story behind the story. Who were the people who actually made this happen? What were the inside machinations that to China's shift from a planned to a market-oriented economy? By what political and policy processes were the special economic zones, which paved the way to China's historic rise in international trade and economic growth, approved and allowed to flourish? Li Lanqing, an important, senior Chinese official at the forefront of the economic reforms revealed this story for the first time to Chinese readers in 2008, in his acclaimed book Break Through. This English edition now offers English readers a rare, personal account of one of the greatest economic stories of the twentieth century.
