Along the way, he demonstrates that power industries became an integral part of the nation's military-industrial complex, showing how competing regimes asserted economic sovereignty through the nationalization of electricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a wide range of published records, engineering reports, and archival collections in China, Taiwan, Japan, and the United States, \u003ci\u003eRecharging China in War and Revolution, 1882-1955\u003c\/i\u003e argues that, even in times of peace, the Chinese economy operated as though still at war, constructing power systems that met immediate demands but sacrificed efficiency and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to generous funding from the Andrew W.
