Maggiori informazioni sul libro
“Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.” Napoleon’s words resonate today as the impact of China’s awakening is felt globally. The former China bureau chief of the Financial Times, James Kynge, explores these tremors from Beijing to Europe and the Midwest, highlighting China’s insatiable demand for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food, alongside its exports of goods, workers, and investments, which are reshaping world trade and politics. Kynge’s on-the-ground reporting goes beyond familiar statistics, offering alternative explanations for China’s rapid transformation and debunking common myths about its growth. He emphasizes the country’s systemic weaknesses—rampant fraud, severe environmental crises, a corrupt banking system, faltering government institutions, and a rapidly aging population—that pose significant threats for global stability. These issues have profound implications for American manufacturers, oil companies, banks, and everyday consumers. Through compelling narratives of entrepreneurs, factory workers, and store clerks, Kynge illustrates how China’s swift rise has unfolded, the extraordinary challenges it now faces, and the far-reaching consequences for the twenty-first century.
