Description:

This book focuses on the main events between Mobil and the modern Chinese government, showing the interests, mutual perceptions, and external influences of Mobil and the Chinese government in various periods of history, and revealing the extensive, complex, and unique relationship between Mobil Oil Corporation, which is a capitalist private enterprise in nature, and the Chinese and American governments. In some important historical moments, these relationships not only reflected the role of Mobil Oil under the shift in U.S. policy toward China, but also influenced the Chinese government's perceptions and actions in the petroleum industry to a certain extent, and therefore, understanding the history of Mobil Oil's development in China in the modern era is also of some significance to the contemporary political economy.
