Stumbling Giant: China in the 21st Century by Kerry Brown, Jonathan Fenby (Foreword by)

From the Publisher

This book offers a thematic discussion of the key issues surrounding the rise of China and what that will mean to people outside China in the years ahead. Struggling Giant explores the future of this emerging economic powerhouse and what the next two decades might bring in the critical areas of the environment, economy and political stability.

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.
