I'd like to give this book 3.5 stars, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and round up. This book manages to give a solid, fact-supported account of the story of where China has been, where it is today, and where it may go. It looses some points though because the facts appear in such large clumps that one can't digest them all at once. At first I tried, but my attention would drift I'd have lost the thread of what the facts were about by the time Becker returned to the narrative. I found the book much more engaging when I skimmed over the denser fact-clumps. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
No nation on Earth is as newsworthy as 21st-century China - and no book could be timelier than DRAGON RISING, as world attention focuses on China's all-out effort to present itself as a modern world power and on the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Becker is the ideal guide to the profound changes within China that are reshaping global economic, diplomatic, and military strategies. He weaves analysis with anecdotes to address today's pressing uncertainties- How will China cope with pollution, unemployment, and demand for energy? What form will its government take? Can Shanghai's success with urban capitalism be replicated elsewhere? Each chapter focuses on a specific region and its local issues - minority unrest, poverty, corruption - then places them in the broader context of China society as a whole.Vividly illustrated with photographs that capture the paradox of an ancient culture remaking itself into a dynamic consumer society, DRAGON RISING is a wonderfully written, well-rounded, wide-ranging portrait of China's problems and prospects.
