Title: Self-Serving Propaganda
Product review: This book is not objective scholarship but China conspiracy trash in the tradition of Mosher, Gertz, Timperlake, Bernstein and Munro. First, it is not written by a so-called China expert but by a ultra conservative journalist who has jumped on the China bashing bandwagon in the wake of the Cold War. Second, it appears that many journalists have capitalized on the "China Syndrome" because it sells and makes for some interesting world possibilities. The reality is that despite China's ascent, China (the PRC) will never be fully accepted into Western world so long as they remain an authoritarian or a socialist free market economy state. With that mind, save your hard earned money and buy books from reliable sources on world affairs like RAND or the Brookings Institution. You'll thank me later.
