China: The Balance Sheetby Anonymous

Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings

January 21, 2007: The authors provide a carefully written detailed view of contemporary China focusing on China's domestic economy, domestic transformation, and trade and relations with the West. They do just fine covering these topics, but fail badly when covering other issues like China's environmental crisis, health problems or education. These topics deserve far more attention than the few paragraphs offered here.

China: The Balance Sheetby Anonymous

Reader Rating:

September 14, 2006: This book is indispensable for anyone seeking solid information about China. No country has inspired more commentary, conflict and controversy, or given rise to more disparate and confusing predictions, projections and polemics. The authors - C. Fred Bergsten, Bates Gill, Nicholas R. Lardy and Derek Mitchell - focus on economic, political and security issues, carefully assessing the range of noteworthy opinions on each issue, and offering readers the data necessary to evaluate them. The authors do not attempt to make a case one way or the other. They provide an excellent, concise survey of contemporary thinking about China, with ample evidence for and against each viewpoint. We think that if you are only going to read one book on China, this should be it. If you are going to read several, start here.
