Friend or Foe?

Hugo de Burgh

China's economy is growing phenomenally, with half the world's cranes currently on its soil. Yet, especially in rural areas, there is widespread poverty. So is China a friend to be welcomed or a foe to be guarded against? Accessible, straightforward and often astonishing, China: Friend or Foe? is the first popular exploration of one of the biggest issues of the next hundred years.
