New Book: China and the New World Order:

How Entrepreneurship, Globalization, and Border Business are Reshaping China and the World

By George Zhibin Gu

Foreword by William Ratliff

Publisher: Fultus, October 2006

Get the inside story from a Chinese journalist/consultant about China’s surge under globalization and capitalism. This second volume of a trilogy covers (1) political-economic trends; (2) Chinese multinationals vs. global giants; (3) trade, the yuan, banking, insurance, and the stock market; and (4) issues with Taiwan, the West, India, and Japan.

Summary

China is the world’s number-one growth story now. But how is it that China has achieved such quick growth in this era? How is it that made-in-China products can flood the globe? Is a trade war going to happen? Or is a new world order in the making? This second volume of a trilogy—by Chinese journalist/consultant George Zhibin Gu—aims to answer these questions and more.

Today, more than a half-million overseas companies conduct business inside China. Learn about all the opportunities this exploding market presents, including banking, insurance, and stock market, as well as the yuan and trade and cross-border business issues. Moreover, it contains extensive studies on China’s political-economic reform as well as evolving international relations.

This volume addresses eight key topics:

I. China’s New Role in the World Development
II. The Yuan, Trade, and Investment
III. China’s Fast-Changing Society, Politics, and Economy (in light of Chinese and global history)
IV. China’s Banking, Insurance, and Stock Market Reforms
V. Chinese Multinationals vs. Global Giants
VI. The Taiwan Issue: Current Affairs and Trends (federation as an alternate way for unity)
VII. India vs. China: Moving Ahead at the Same Time
VIII. The Japan-China Issue: Evolving Relations in Light of History

Today, all nations increasingly rely on one another for development, a trend that will only strengthen as time passes. As a saying goes, “The future is being shaped today.” This book will appeal to readers everywhere regardless of their particular interests.
