Recenzje

Whatever your opinion on China -- as a "systemic competitor", "strategic challenge" or just plain old elephant in every room -- it is vital to understand what you are really dealing with. In this book, Kerry Brown does a marvellous job of demythologising China, depicting it convincingly as an "opportunistic, exceptional, more limited power" than is often believed, "driven by self-interest". - Bill Emmott, Chair, Japan Society of the UK, and former editor-in-chief of The Economist
