Fishman, a journalist, presents a sobering view on the rise of China in the world economy. He views China's ascendency as a forgone conclusion that will have a huge impact on the world. He's constantly giving examples of how China undercuts competition (including American companies) and offers the "China Price" or a price so low only China can make a profit. China's rise has had an impact all across the world, in particular the manufacturing industries of the developed nations.

How powerful will China become? Fishman seems to think that the sky's the limit. In a critical look at this book, I found that much of Fishman's analysis to be skin-deep. He doesn't examine any potential factors that may stop or reverse China's rise to the top. show more He relies heavily on secondary sources and some of his conclusions seem simplified. That said, this book is a good read and should be a wake-up call to America (and most of the rest of the world). show less

Many interesting details on recent developments in China; including why ending software piracy in China (even if it were remotely possible to do so) would be a disaster for Microsoft.
Hey, fellow Americans, Read this and weep.
Anyone who is interested in who the industrialization of China will affect American businesses and interests should read this.
