From the Paper:

"Economists examining socialist systems often seem to fail to look closely at the banking system that is in place, as a fundamental institution of all economies. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), this sector is most interesting due to changes since the shift to Deng's 1978 Reform agenda. Clearly, the PRC would require new institutions that were able to support capitalist activities that would be both domestic, and in the end, involve different foreign interests, too. "
