I am by no means well educated on the subject of development, but this book was the best of few I've read on the topic. It may in some few ways be applicable in your studies:
Chinese Rural Development: The Great Transformation
ByWilliam L. Parish
First Published 1985
eBook Published 20 June 2016
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781315495293/chinese-rural-development-great-transformation-william-parishI do believe it mostly was concerned with agriculture rather than mining if I remember correctly.
I chose that link because it shows the chapter titles at the bottom. The description, or "Abstract" is clearly mistaken as the book I recall dealt almost exclusively with economics. The chapter titles show that I was correct in remembering it as not related to the given description. It appears the descriptions or "Abstracts" on all the pages available for this textbook share this misleading description. If I were to guess, I think the descriptions on various sites were clearly copied from the same source, and from one that mistook this book's description for another book. It's possible that is due to being required reading in the same college course, as shown here where it's together with other textbooks that could be the one the description is meant for (without checking to see if it fits any of them):
