this reference volume will be useful to anyone interested in recent
economic and business development in China.?-American Reference

?Here are two more volumes in this "China Statistics Series" based
on the work of the State Statistical Bureau of the People's
Republic of China. As with the other two volumes--China Statistical
Abstract 1988 and China Social Statistics 1986--current and
retrospective statistics are provided through dozens of tables.
Rural Statistics is divided into 11 sections: "Rural Basic
Statistics," "Total Output Value of Rural Society," "Output of
Major Farm Crops, Livestock, and Township and Village Enterprises'
Industrial Products," "Rural Commerce," "Economic Efficiency,"
"Rural Financial Statistics," "Income and Living Expenditures of
Rural Households," "Rural Production Conditions," "Rural Culture,
Education, Health Care and Social Welfare," "Ranking of Regions by
Selected Indicators," and "Selected Indicators at County Level."
The four sections of Trade and Price Statistics are "Domestic
Trade," "Price Indexes and Average Prices," "Foreign Economic
Relations and Trade," and "Tourism." Although there is some
duplication of data among the four volumes, even tables that bear
nearly identical headings do not always present the same data. For
example, table 8.17 of China Statistical Abstract, "Average Per
Capita Consumption of Consumer Goods of Rural Households," and
table 7.4 of China Rural Statistics, "Per Capita Consumption of
Major Consumer Goods by Rural Households," both contain data for
1980, 1985, 1986, and 1987, but the former adds coverage for 1978,
and the latter adds some additional categories and subcategories of
products. As a rule, subject-specific volumes provide more detailed
tables and categories of information. Future volumes in the series
will cover rural, urban, industrial, and population statistics; in
addition, there are State Statistical Bureau data volumes by other
publishers, e.g., China Urban Statistics 1985 and A Survey of
Income and Expenditure of Households in China, 1986 . . . most
suitable for significant China studies collections. . .
