PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION<br />"An excellent, current guide to the challenges and dangers ahead for modern China."<br /><b>—Robert B. Zoellick, Former President of the World Bank Group, U.S. Trade Representative & U.S. Deputy Secretary of State<br /><br /></b> PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION<br /> "Fenby's new edition penetratingly punctures the myth that China is on the verge of becoming a major world power – to the contrary, the author identifies a plethora of factors that holds China back in its quest for greatness. His sobering analysis is not pessimistic, it is realistic. All analysts – from scholars to investment fund managers to government officials – would do well to carefully read this book."<br /><b> —David Shambaugh, The George Washington University and author of <i>China's Future</i></b><br /><br /> "A concise, eloquent and hard-hitting corrective to claims about China's coming world dominance by one of the country's most astute observers."<br /><b> —Frank Dikötter, University of Hong Kong</b>
