Abstract

ABSTRACT The Leipzig Trade Fair was the first multilateral international exhibition the People’s Republic of China (PRC) attended since 1949. The fair was a venue for the People’s Republic of China to trade with both the West and the East and demonstrated China’s industrial development and ideology to the rest of the world. Until the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, the PRC and German Democratic Republic (GDR) both reaped economic and political benefits from their participation in the Leipzig fair. This study frames the history of China and the Leipzig Trade Fair mainly from the Chinese perspective by focusing on the decision-making and contention of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policy elites, as well as the efforts of middle-ranking Chinese trade officials to promote trade. It also examines the role of the Leipzig fair in China’s trade relations with both the West and the East.
经济与政治之间:中国与莱比锡贸易博览会(1950-1966)
莱比锡贸易博览会是中华人民共和国自1949年以来参加的第一个多边国际展览会。博览会是中华人民共和国与西方和东方进行贸易的场所,向世界展示了中国的工业发展和思想。直到1966年文化大革命爆发,中国和德意志民主共和国都从参加莱比锡博览会中获得了经济和政治利益。本研究主要从中国视角构建中国和莱比锡交易会的历史框架,重点关注中国共产党政策精英的决策和争论,以及中国中层贸易官员为促进贸易所做的努力。它还考察了莱比锡博览会在中国与西方和东方的贸易关系中的作用。
