Examining the circumstances of Feng Rui's arrest on charges of corruption, Emily Hill traces the construction of a Chinese national economy through cross-border interactions between industry and agriculture and between China and Japan. She makes the case that Feng was, in fact, a scapegoat in a multi-sided power struggle in which political leaders vied with commercial players for access to China's markets and tax revenues. This illuminating study challenges conventional wisdom about the effectiveness of the Republican state in promoting national unity during the Nanjing decade and highlights continuities in official economic policies from the 1930s to the Communist era. 410 0$aContemporary Chinese studies. 606 $aSugar$xManufacture and refining$zChina$zGuangdong Sheng$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGuangdong Sheng (China)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1928-1937 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y1912-1949 607 $aGuangdong Sheng (China)$xOfficials and employees$vBiography 615 0$aSugar$xManufacture and refining$xHistory 676 $a951/.27042 700 $aHill$b Emily M.$f1957-$01642236 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821778103321 996 $aSmokeless sugar$93986824 997 $aUNINA
