Opis

For almost two decades, China has claimed that its expanding economy benefits Europe, stimulating European growth, exports, and employment. But the reality is not so clear–cut. Whilst individual companies may have profited from China s economic rise,unbalanced trade with China has actually cost Europe over 1.

Recenzje

'A smart and provocative analysis that deserves wide attention.' François Godement, European Council on Foreign Relations 'In this perceptive and pragmatic book, Jonathan Holslag awakens Europe to its romantic self-deception regarding China's expansionist intentions and offensives. Europe must get realistic about China and this book may just be that wake-up call.' Karel de Gucht, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and former EU trade commissioner "A strong and thought-provoking argument about the implications of China's rise for Europe." Alan Beattie, Financial Times 'A powerful counterpoint to the increasingly complacent attitudes of European (and British) policymakers to a country that combines authoritarian politics with a state-directed economic system.'
