A Look Back at the Zhu Rongji Era

Zhu Rongji

I had a chance to go to a delightful gathering of Chinese and American "veteran cadres" in New York on September 9 to celebrate the publication by the Brookings Institution, in cooperation with the China International Publications Group, of the first volume of English-language translations of speeches and writings by former premier Zhu Rongji. The Chinese title of the original publication is Zhu Rongji Jianghua Shilu, and the English collection has been very sensibly titled Zhu Rongji on the Record.
