Pre-Owned China Made: Consumer Culture and the Creation of the Nation (Paperback) 0674016548 9780674016545

In the early 20th century, China began to import and then to manufacture thousands of consumer goods. Politicians feared trade deficits. Intellectuals feared loss of national sovereignty. And manufacturers wondered how they could survive a flood of cheap imports. Gerth argues that the responses of these groups helped foster modern nationalism.
