This book provides a comprehensive study of Japan's evolving relationship with China since 1949, tracing the shifting dynamics from a distant relationship during the early communist era to a more cooperative phase in the late 20th century, and finally to the growing tensions of the 21st century.

Specialist manufacturers have existed in Japan from even before the start of industrialization in the late nineteenth century. Proliferating since but remaining steadfastly lean, many of them can be categorized as leading medium-sized enterprises. This book looks at how they are globalizing and assuming a role as East Asian specialists.
