China Boom - Why China Will Not Rule the World

Many thought China's rise would fundamentally remake the global order. Yet, much like other developing nations, the Chinese state now finds itself entrenched in a status quo characterized by free trade and American domination. Through a cutting-edge historical, sociological, and political analysis, Ho-fung Hung exposes the competing interests and economic realities that temper the dream of Chinese supremacy--forces that are stymieing growth throughout the global South.

Report

"Timely and important. Ho-fung Hung's acessible and clear-eyed assessment of China's prospects, rooted both in the longer patterns of China's own history and in global economics, reaches unexpected and reassuring conclusions. A stimulating intellectual journey led by a calm and judicious guide." Robert A. Kapp, former President of the U.S.-China Business Council
