"A clear-eyed look at how China's recent modernization will
leapfrog Western 'superiority'." -"Kirkus Reviews
""Delivering a tour d'horizon of China's relations with foreign
countries, Jacques envisions their future development as comparable
to a comeback of imperial China's tributary system. Jacques' views
will be discussion starters for trend-spotting students of the
world scene." "-Booklist"
"Provocative... a fascinating account."
-Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"
"[A] compelling and thought-provoking analysis of global trends....
Jacques is a superb explainer of history and economics, tracing
broad trends with insight and skill."
-"The Washington Post"
"[An] exhaustive, incisive exploration of possibilities that many
people have barely begun to contemplate about a future dominated by
China. ... [Jacques] has written a work of considerable erudition,
with provocative and often counterintuitive speculations about one
of the most important questions facing the world today. And he
could hardly have known, when he set out to write it, that events
would so accelerate the trends he was analyzing."
-"The New York Times Book Review"
"The rise of China may well prove to be the defining economic and
geopolitical change of our time, and few authors have given the
subject deeper thought or offered a more illuminating analysis than
Martin Jacques."
-Niall Ferguson, author of "The Ascent of Money"
"A clear wake-up call."
-"Christian Science Monitor"
