DESCRIPTION:China's banking sector has undergone a remarkable transformati
 on since the establishment of the socialist market economy in 1993. This s
 ector\, which previously struggled with bad debt\, is now home to four of 
 the five largest banks in the world. The orthodox view of reform in China'
 s banking sector evaluates change as conformance with a Western\, neoliber
 al model of banking. This paper argues instead that this reform is best un
 derstood as an evolution of institutions that reflect historical patterns 
 of political and economic organisation in China.\n\nGuy Williams is a PhD 
 student at the Centre of Development Studies. His research examines the ev
 olution of China's banking sector since the establishment of the socialist
  market economy in 1993. As part of his research he interviewed officials 
 from the China Banking Regulatory Commission\, which has regulated China's
  banking sector since 2003. Guy has spent four years studying and working 
 in China.
