Struggling Giant
«'Kerry Brown's long association with his subject as a scholar, diplomat and businessman allow him to make confident, authentic judgements on many of the key China questions.' - James Kynge, author of 'China Shakes the World' 'Offers a broad and challenging view of China, past and present and - venturing where many scholars fear to tread - of it's likely future too.' - John Gittings, author of 'The Changing Face of China' 'A witty and original book by someone who knows every aspect of China. Everyone will find this a refreshing read.' - Jasper Becker, author of 'Hungry Ghosts'»
The themes dealt with here include some of the most pressing issues for the Chinese and those who interact with China: the impact of China’s development on the world economic system and on its environment, the likely future stability of China, the very existence of a unified China and the fault lines along which this entity might break apart in the years ahead, and an assessment of the future of the one-party system and what might replace it. Jonathan Fenby’s enlightening foreword perfectly frames this engaging and timely exploration of one of the world’s most fascinating cultures.
