Trade Review

"Zhou Xun is to be commended. The People's Health is a valuable contribution to an understanding of the often-unforeseeable consequences of political planning and social engineering." Paul U. Unschuld, Charité, Medical University Berlin and author of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Heritage and Adaptation


“Zhou’s richly evidenced work enhances our understanding of the intricate relationship between medicine, society and the state and thereby our understanding of contemporary China. Scholars and readers interested in modern Chinese history and public health in China would find this book particularly helpful.” Europe-Asia Studies
