Boom or Bust in China's Jade Trade with Myanmar?
(2017) In Made in China: A Quarterly on Chinese Labour, Civil Society, and Rights 2(4). p.52-56- Abstract
- Since 2014, declining economic growth and Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign have led to decreasing demand in certain markets for jadeite—the highest valued type of jade in China. But while institutional factors may explain these short-term fluctuations, historical continuity and cultural imaginations underpinning Chinese demand suggest that the jadeite market boom in China is not quite over yet.
