"China Crisis debuted in 1981 with the single "African and White." But the third single from their 1983 album, "Wishful Thinking" became China Crisis' biggest hit, reaching number 9 in the UK and charting all over Europe. It was voted most popular song of the week on the Swedish radio show Poporama in the spring of 1984.
"China Crisis' most recent project is their live album, Acoustically Yours, and released in autumn of 1995, to critical acclaim. It showed a China Crisis as brilliant as ever, being confident about the power in their songs.
