This is an intermediate-level macroeconomics textbook for undergraduate students who wish to gain some exposure to the Chinese economy while learning macroeconomics. And this is a truly "intermediate-level" textbook since it provides a calculus treatment of the standard intermediate macroeconomic theories such as the Solow models, IS-LM models, and so on. Students in many countries need an alternative macroeconomics textbook that is less American-centric than the existing ones. In particular, students in many developing countries need to learn about theories (e.g., the Lewis model of economic development) and cases (the Asian Financial Crisis) that are relevant to developing countries but are ignored in mainstream English textbooks. The use of calculus makes the textbook concise without sacrificing depth. And most importantly, after some training, students would feel comfortable with applying mathematics, the "engine of inquiry", to macroeconomic analysis.
