Publisher's Synopsis
Whatever happens, good or bad, the great experiment in Chinese-style socialism will impinge on the world at large. That much nobody disputes. In the closing years of the twentieth century, we are witnessing the reawakening of a colossus that has long dominated Asia geographically and culturally, but is also likely to do so economically and politically in the next century. Geoffrey Murray closely examines China's credentials as a burgeoning superpower, the economic, social and structural dilemmas this poses, as well as the broader ongoing geopolitical implications should the experiment succeed.
