Entre planification et privatisation, le capitalisme à la chinoise trace sa voie originale. À quoi ressembleront les vingt prochaines années ? Pour s'en faire une idée, il faut revenir sur la trajectoire des réformes accomplies jusqu'ici, en prenant la mesure d'un phénomène majeur, qui devrait concerner 300 millions de personnes supplémentaires en quelques années : l'urbanisation.
