In the industrial north east of China, reformers are trying to wean the workers off total dependency on the state – a system which Mao called ‘The Iron Rice Bowl’. Elsewhere there is free-wheeling capitalism. Brian Barron reports from China and asks if the Chinese can succeed where the Russians failed in marrying communism with the market.
