Description
Book SynopsisHow should the West respond to the inexorable rise of China? Hugh White attempts to answer the key geopolitcal question of the 21st century - one which will have momentous consequences for us all.
Trade ReviewA short, incisive and original book. * Books of the Year, Financial Times *
Scores of titles on every aspect of China's rise continue to appear. Most rehearse familiar themes and debates. Hugh White's The China Choice is a rare exception that breaks new ground. It is also written in exceptionally lucid prose that reflects a bracing clarity of thought. * Gideon Rachman, Financial Times *
