<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Drawing on his years in the country and his fluency in Mandarin, Kynge probes beyond the familiar statistics to unearth the surprising reasons for Chinas explosive growth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate around the globe. Award-winning journalist James Kynge takes measure of the tremors made as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food -- and its export of goods, workers, and investments -- drastically reshapes world trade and politics. Through dramatic stories of the people who are driving China's transformation -- entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks -- Kynge describes the breakneck rise of China, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Should the U.S. worry about China? Most definitely— but, by Kynge's account, for different reasons from the ones being raised on Capitol Hill.<br><br>Kynge's crisp assessment of the dynamics involved is both authoritative and eye-opening.<br>
