"Rent Seeking in China is informative, and a welcome contribution to the study of Chinese political economy. The authors should be commended for their attempts to bring together studies on several industries. The book will be of great value to scholars and students who work on issues related to post-socialist state-business relationships." - Chia-chen Chou, Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Government at Cornell University; Journal of Chinese Political Science/Association of Chinese Political Studies 2011
