Features: "A 'perfect storm' is heading towards the East: China, with unparalleled resources, exceptional business acumen, continuously growing formidable negotiating power, a necessary financial system and technology, and the ambition to surpass the world, is profoundly influencing the entire world." This is how many foreign scholars, experts, and business professionals view China today, believing that its rise will change global politics, economics, and society as a whole. As an expert on China, the author of this book, based on more than 30 years of research on China's economic environment, draws the conclusion through tracing China's history and analyzing a large number of real-world situations: the rise of China's mainland economy is fundamentally different from the rise of Japan, India, and the Asian "Four Little Dragons," but more similar to the rise of the United States a century ago. China is steadily and rapidly moving towards becoming a future world power. He boldly predicts that within 20 years or even shorter, China will become the world's largest economy. The book particularly points out that the continuous development of China's economy will gradually lead to the fundamental restructuring and transformation of the global business system, which will impact businesses worldwide while also bringing many new opportunities. For Chinese companies at the heart of a volatile environment, it is even more important to recognize this early on. These changes and opportunities are subtle and elusive, and the unique perspective provided by the author of this book allows Chinese companies to stand from a global perspective, recognizing major challenges and opportunities they had never noticed before.
