Praise for ChinAmerica"A must-read for anyone seeking to understand
the emergence of China as a major industrial power and how
profoundly it is changing the world economy." -Dr. Henry Kressel,
author of Competing for the Future: How Digital Innovations Are
Changing the World"This book is essential reading for business
leaders and observers everywhere as this dramatic shift of economic
and political power from the West to China continues."-Ray Bingham,
chairman, Flextronics International"ChinAmerica provides extremely
in-depth visibility into the interactions and interdependency of
China and the United States. I believe everyone who takes the time
to read it will learn of the many challenges and opportunities that
exist for both China andthe United States." -Richard Kulle,
president and CEO, gEM Services, Inc. "Handel Jones lays out
concisely what China is doing right and the United States is doing
wrong. This is a wake-up call because China today is the most
serious economic competitor that the United States has ever faced.
This book should be required reading for all U.S. politicians and
business leaders." -Wilfred J. Corrigan, founder, chairman, and CEO
(retired), LSI Logic Corp. Conventional wisdom pits China against
the United States in a war for economic supremacy. However, in
ChinAmerica, Handel Jones, one of the leading experts on China's
industrial and economic emergence, demonstrates that the wave of
the future is cooperation between the two titans, not conflict-and
how America will benefit from increased economic engagement and
competition with China. To some, conflict between China and the
United States appears to be both imminent and unavoidable (indeed,
in some eyes, the battle has already begun). But this perspective
badly overlooks one vital fact: both nations have no choice other
than to act in their mutual interest. Focusing on several key areas
of conflict and mutual interest, Jones gives a thorough and
eye-opening portrait of the policies, history, and habits that have
led to the intersecting fortunes of the two superpowers. Jones also
outlines actions the United States must take to hold on to its
leadership role by forging equilibrium with China that's based on
mutual respect and dependence.As Jones makes clear, the contrast
between the two powers couldn't be more startling: while China is
amassing through trade nearly one-fourth of the world's foreign
exchange reserves (nearly three-fourths of that amount in USD), the
United States excels mostly as a consumer of finished goods, with
Americans unconcerned about debt and other consequences of living
beyond their means. China subsidizes development of more efficient
manufacturing techniques, and in response America threatens
protectionist barriers. Developments such as these, however, don't
necessarily put the nations on a collision course. To Jones, these
facts point to a very real opportunity for Chinese and American
governments and businesses to work together rather than be
separated by economic tensions.Filled with cogent analysis and
expert advice, ChinAmerica is the most comprehensive look yet at
the interdependency of the world's two leading powers. This is a
book that will change minds about Sino-American relations. Handel

the United States has ever faced. This book should be required
