I added “China” to the
search and reduced
the number of articles
from 512 to a
manageable 46.

Two sources were found for
the article you selected. I tried
Business Source Complete and
it did not have the article, so I
tried ProQuest Research
Library and it did!
If the database search found no
copy of the article you want,
remember Interlibrary Loan.
