What'S Wrong With China

Though no one doubts its importance today, China remains one of the least understood countries in the world. We should know as much about this one economy as we know about our own, and yet who really understands China?

What’s Wrong With China? Approaches China’s problems as if they were our own. It takes the subject matter and deals with it head on. The point of this book is for American readers to get to know a country that will soon become an increasingly big influence on this country – economically as well as culturally. China is home to a rich culture, and understanding the country is critical to achieving business success. What’s Wrong With China? details some of the country’s biggest social challenges, and it does so through the use of anecdotes from the author’s personal and business life. This book will appeal to businesspersons looking for helpful lessons, and it will also be of interest to the broader public, who is looking to understand China in a more general sense.
