CHINAMERICA: The Uneasy Partnership that Will Change the World

by Handel Jones

Overview

“A must read for anyone seeking to understand the emergence of China as a major industrial power and how profoundly it is changing the world economy." —Dr. Henry Kressel, author of Competing for the Future: How Digital Innovations are Changing the World

Conventional wisdom pits China against the U.S. in a war for economic supremacy. However, In ChinAmerica, Handel Jones, a pioneer in creating Sino-American business partnerships, and one of the leading experts on China's industrial and economic emergence, demonstrates that the wave of the future is cooperation between the two titans, not conflict-and how America will benefit from increased economic engagement and competition with China.

Focusing on several key areas of conflict and mutual interest, Jones details what American businesses and policy-makers must do to keep pace with China's private and state-owned corporations. Filled with sharp observations and cutting-edge research, ChinAmerica is the most comprehensive look yet at the interdependency of the world's two leading powers. It is, in short, a book that will change minds about Sino-American relations.

Topics covered in ChinAmerica:
How CEOs have Replaced Generals • The role of government in Chinese and U.S. industrial policy • what Is China Today • Chinese Economic Philosophies • Predictions for the Chinese Economy • Taiwan and Its Synergy with China • Restructuring the U.S. to compete and collaborate with China
