Best business-news reporting from abroad
“The central preoccupation of the man in Canton’s streets is not socialist class struggle; it is the acquisition of watches, televisions and other luxuries.” The writer of those words is William J. Holstein, United Press International’s deputy news editor for Asia. Holstein traveled through China, from its major economic centers and the Canton Trade Fair to its muddy rural communes and the streets of its cities. He reported major economic-policy shifts by the leadership, and the workings of capitalist-style incentives among the people. He has worked for UPI since his graduation from Michigan State University in 1973.
