“The book focuses on five themes — basic research, the high-technology sector, traditional state-owned enterprises, agricultural research and rural development, and environmental and social development— and presents a description of China’s S&T institutions and a brief history of the reforms to the S&T sector.” The findings of this “highly successful IDRC/SSTC mission have influenced policy- and decision-making in China.” (IDRC website)
