'A lucid and comprehensive guide to China's privatisation puzzle. This book is a must-read for anyone trying to understand the big patterns or the devilish details of state-owned enterprise reform in China.' Arthur Kroeber, Managing Editor, China Economic Quarterly 'Like Dr. Doolittle's Push-me Pull-you, China's approach to state enterprise privatization is straining in opposite directions, and different analysts watch different ends and reach different conclusions about where it is going. Stephen Green and Guy Liu herd these experts into a valuable single volume on Beijing's schizophrenic effort to sell off enterprises and retain enterprises simultaneously. Readers will end up no less sceptical that China's approach will lead to efficient state divestiture with a modicum of fairness, but far more insightful and informed about the process and motivations.'Daniel Rosen, Institute for International Economics
