Can We Trust China?

by Pascal Coppens

Overview

By 2030, China will be the largest economy in the world. How is it that the country is overtaking the West in lots of areas? Does China have the wealthy West to thank for this? Or is it the result of a decisive collective society? Do the Chinese play by the rules? And what do the Chinese themselves think of the Party and the system?

In the search for answers to these questions, opinions quickly get heated, and people often take a very firm position in either the positive or negative camp. This could end up costing us. If we want to take advantage of the opportunities that China’s transition also offers us and our economy, then a nuanced view is absolutely essential.

Can We Trust China? provides a diverse answer to the many questions about China that make us wary. The book delves into the Chinese psyche to go beyond assumptions and stereotypes and to find out what makes a Chinese person tick, how they fit into society, and how they run their business. It aims to help the reader better understand the China of tomorrow, as well as our own future.
