Abstract: This paper discusses spatial interrelationships among economic units in the People's Republic of China. It characterizes these in the prereform period (before 1979) under a centralized economic command structure and analyzes their various adverse efficiency consequences. Requirements for efficiency improvements are then discussed. Finally, changes in the spatial relationships under the present reform toward greater decentralization, and their probable effect on overall productivity, are examined.
