China: The Balance Sheet by C. Fred Fred Bergsten, Bates Gill, Nicholas R. Lardy

From the Publisher

China's emergence as a major international power is perhaps the most important development in world affairs of the 21st century. Now, on the eve of a visit to Washington by Chinese leader Hu Jintao, this book provides an indispensable survey of that country, the world's largest -- a vast land with 1.4 billion people and the world's most dynamic economy.

Over the past year Dr. Bates Gill, holder of the Freeman Chair at CSIS, and C.Fred Bergsten, president of IIE, have led four task forces through a rigorous exercise of investigation and intelligence, compiling and analyzing the authoritative data on China's economy, foreign and domestic policy, and national security. Now that material has been shaped into an accessible narrative filled with facts, but written for the general reader. The expert judgments presented in China: The Balance Sheet will inform policymakers in Washington, scholars and the business community for years to come.
