“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. In China Shakes the World, the former China bureau chief of the Financial Times, James Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to Europe to the Midwest as China’s ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food — and its export of goods, workers, and investments — drastically reshape world trade and politics.

Delving beyond mere recitation of by-now-familiar statistics, Kynge’s on-the-ground reporting provides alternative explanations for China’s explosive transformation, revealing many of the usual reasons given for its growth to be myths. Most important for the future, he details China’s deep, systemic weaknesses — rampant fraud, crippling environmental crises, a corrupt banking system, faltering government institutions, a rapidly aging population — that threaten even greater global disruptions. And he demonstrates the profound consequences of those weaknesses for American manufacturers, oil companies, banks, and ordinary consumers.

Through dramatic stories of entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks at the heart of this global phenomenon, China Shakes the World explains how China’s breakneck rise occurred, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both for the twenty-first century.

评论 ······

虽然是十年前的书,但读来并不过时。作者在中国学习、工作多年,会中文,对中国算是比较了解了,涉及的范围甚至超过了一般的中国人。观点还算是平衡,尽管有些观点并不太同意。如果能对中国的历史有更多的了解,了解中国人如何去看历史,特别是近代史,或许会更好。书最后关于我们是否能做朋友的疑问,在今天仍然有意义,特别是在当前的国际环境下。
