Description: China today, argues Murray, is an awakening colossus that has long dominated Asia geographically and culturally, but is also likely to do so economically and politically in the next century. Accordingly, he closely examines China's credentials as a burgeoning superpower; by contrast he also looks at the economic, social and structural dilemmas this poses, as well as the broader ongoing geopolitical implications should the great experiment in 'Chinese-style' socialism succeed.

This book will be of considerable interest to all students of China in the humanities and social sciences; it also provides invaluable insights for those having to make informed judgements in the fields of business and commerce as well as socio-political analysis.
