About this title

Review

"A thought-provoking and accessible forecast of strange times to come."

-- "Kirkus"

"An excellent portrait of the biggest change in the world economy since WWII. It should be required reading for every U.S. entrepreneur. I am going to make my whole staff read it."

-- John Koten, "Inc" Magazine

""China, Inc." is the amazing story of how the slumbering Red giant woke up and, at warp speed, transformed itself into the greatest superpower of the very near future -- with the biggest, tallest, longest, and fastest of just about everything there is. Fishman will forever change your view not just of China's place in the world -- but of America's as well."

-- Craig Unger, author of "House of Bush, House of Saud"

"Where Fishman excels is getting to the heart of what makes modern China so potent an economic force."

-- "Management Today"

"[Fishman] unearths some striking nuggets."

-- "Daily Telegraph"

"Fishman provides a dizzying view of the Chinese industrial revolution in full spate...A mine of vivid reportage."

-- "Director"

"If the twentieth was the American century, then the twenty-first belongs to China. It's that simple, Ted C. Fishman says, and anyone who doubts it should take his whirlwind tour of the world's fastest-developing economy."
-- The New York Times

"A must-read for American business people who operate in, buy from, or compete with China."
-- Chicago Sun-Times
