China, China, Chyyna!: Greatest Disruption to American Century by Chris Kanthan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book talks about the rise of Chinese dominance in the world in terms of economic, political, military and even through population. These changes have certainly affected the balance of power in the world, and the author makes valid and interesting points in how this all affects America and what we can/should do in response.
I think that the book was a bit lopsided. There was no true discussion of the income inequality in China, the high cost of living that is hindering its population growth, the environmental factors that will harm the country in the short and long term, etc. This was interesting to see some of the changes in China, however I think that the book would be served best in accompanying other books that discuss the whole picture.
