China's early industrialization (1865-1895) is of great importance to theories of economic development. This book examines why China's industrialization was slow compared to contemporary Japan's. The author argues that China's tardy economic development was due to ineffective government leadership. He further explores why the Chinese government did not lead China's economic development effectively. The Manchu question-Manchu rule of Qing China and Manchu supremacy over other ethnic groups-triggered ethnic rebellions between the early 1850s and the early 1870s, which severely undercut the power of the government. Ethnic rebellions in turn were caused by the government's unequal ethnic policies that had established an ethnic hierarchy in the empire. Moreover, between the 1860s and 1890s the government spent a disproportionate amount of its revenue to financially support the Manchus leading to insufficient governmental investment in modern projects. Sociologists, political economists, and historians of China and Japan will find this book informative.
