Mini-Case 12.4
Please note that at the end of the last paragraph in the second column of the case study "Roaring tigers and flaming dragons", on page 346, the sentence should read "The Chinese themselves refer to their system as 'socialism but with Chinese characteristics'". The authors and publisher wish to apologise for this error, which will be corrected in future copies of the book.
