This book provides a comprehensive and balanced view of the main
transformations that are happening in the Chinese economy today.
This view has developed from more than 200 interviews and numerous
surveys (based on primary data), in addition to mainstream
literature by academia and consultancy companies.The general view
of China is often either black or white. Global markets are
generally guided by euphoria or fear. Academia are optimistic or
pessimistic about China's longer-term growth potential. People
believe or distrust Chinese data. These black and white pictures
are, in many cases, easy to communicate (and even proved by
anecdotic evidence), but are not correct.Modern China is not the
result of tradeoffs but ambiguities: market-driven AND
government-driven, central government AND local government control,
increasing brand loyalty AND extreme price sensitivity, fall of
consumption as percentage of GDP AND strong increase in
consumption, export as an important driver behind longer-term
development AND yet hardly visible as a determinant of today's
economic growth.The aim of this book is to help readers understand
the often conflicting nature of China, not only from an economic
point of view, but also from political and social point of view. In
this sense, it tries to give the reader an eclectic picture of
China - the country of contradictions.That is a difficult task
because of the linkages between reforms and the fact that there are
many preconceived ideas of China, its development and choices. It
is interesting to note that the further from China people are, the
more negative their views towards China. This book will make clear
that this pessimism is overdone. In the longer term, the author is
quite positive about China's transformations, believing that the
rise of China is here to stay and that this is the major factor of
change of this century.
