China - The Next Economic Superpower (Paperback, New edition)

This book - which challenges conventional wisdom on several issues, not least Hong Kong - argues that China is only a few years away from becoming an economic superpower. Recent studies show that the Chinese economy is several times larger than previously thought. Even if China's economy slows substantially from its recent performance, it is likely to surpass that of the USA early in the 21st century. This book tells the dramatic story of the world's most dynamic economy, and features a section on Chris Patten and Hong Kong.
