From the publisher

An elaborate and pervasive set of practices, called guanxi , underlies everyday social relationships in contemporary China. Obtaining and changing job assignments, buying certain foods and consumer items, getting into good hospitals, buying train tickets, obtaining housing, even doing business--all such tasks call for the skillful and strategic giving of gifts and cultivating of obligation, indebtedness, and reciprocity.
