China has been in the throes of an economic riptide. A reform-minded leadership, attempting to reverse the direction of two decades is promoting an economic system quite different from any espoused by the late Mao Zedong—one with independent enterprises practicing "scientific management" and responding to the signals of the market. Such a system, according to the reformers, has the best chance of overcoming the still prevalent attitudes of "feudalism" in China, strengthening the forces of economic rationality and ultimately speeding economic growth. Yet the partial reforms introduced have conflicted with still dominant elements of the old approach to economic management, erode central control of investment activity, and worsen longstanding problems of economic imbalance that the leadership is equally committed to solving. Economic reform has therefore been slowed, and its future put in doubt
