China's Telecommunications History
China's Telecommunications History
Seeking Control While Liberalizing to Modernize
This chapter presents a historical outline of telecommunications in China. It starts with a discussion on the century after the telephone arrived in the country, followed by a study of the growth in the telecommunications sector from the 1980s onward. The next section compares China's present telecommunication growth with those of other emerging countries, such as India, Russia, and Mexico. This chapter shows that the history of the country's development (in terms of its telecommunications sector) has partly shaped its present approaches to policy.
