Funded Activity Summary

Rethinking Mao’s China from a Global Economic Perspective: A History. The project examines how China was connected to the global economy through international trade and technology transfer during the period of Mao Zedong’s leadership (1949-1976). It will provide the first comprehensive historical account of Maoist China’s economic relationship with its major trade partners, including the Soviet Union and Japan, by analysing key archival documents in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and English. Expected outcomes include a new understanding of Maoist China as a part of the economic Cold War and the East Asian model of economic development. The project’s findings could benefit Australia by providing new insights into how China’s early policies under Mao shaped its present and future.
