Kynge's crisp assessment of the dynamics involved is both authoritative and eye-opening. Publishers Weekly Should the U.S. worry about China? Most definitely--but, by Kynge's account, for different reasons from the ones being raised on Capitol Hill. Kirkus Reviews, Should the U.S. worry about China?

Synopsis
"Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate around the globe. Award-winning journalist James Kynge takes measure of the tremors made as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food -- and its export of goods, workers, and investments -- drastically reshapes world trade and politics. Through dramatic stories of the people who are driving China's transformation -- entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks -- Kynge describes the breakneck rise of China, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both., Drawing on his years in the country and his fluency in Mandarin, Kynge probes beyond the familiar statistics to unearth the surprising reasons for Chinas explosive growth., "Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate across the globe. Award-winning journalist James Kynge takes measure of the tremors made as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food -- and its export of goods, workers, and investments -- drastically reshapes world trade and politics. Through dramatic stories of entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks, Kynge describes the breakneck rise of China, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both. He details the variety of China's deep and systemic weaknesses -- fraud and corruption, environmentalcrises, faltering government institutions, an aging population -- that threaten even greater global disruptions. As Thomas Friedman did in The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Kynge gives us a lucid and necessary account of a far-reaching phenomenon.
