Recommendation

China is on track to become the world’s most powerful economy, and it will probably hold that status for a long time. To understand this juggernaut, turn to expert Sinologists Alex Mackinnon and Barnaby Powell. Their book may not be terribly original, but it examines modern-day China from multiple important perspectives. getAbstract recommends this book to those who want to understand the economic reality of China today and in the future – beyond the cardboard cutout that Western politicians routinely wheel out to scare their constituents.

Take-Aways

  • With its hard-working population and dedication to education, China will eventually become the world’s most powerful economy.
  • In China, business and personal relationships revolve around guanxi, networks of trust.
  • Chinese leaders regard stability as the starting point for all their nation’s policies.
