China is Number One

China as No. 1 controversially seeks to challenge the generally-accepted views of China perpetuated by the Western news media and politicians. Laurence Brahm's brilliant polemic sets out the political and historical background of today's China in great detail, and shows how China is taking centre stage in world politics and business.China as No. 1 describes the bases of China's recent reforms, and looks at how far China has come in achieving its goals for reform. Detailed analyses of changes in macro-controls, government structures, trade and monetary policy, amply demonstrate Laurence Brahm's arguments for the West rethinking China, and support his prognosis for the future.
