Coming China Wars, The: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be Won, Revised and Expanded Edition

“The Coming China Wars is a gripping, fact-filled account of the dark side of China’s rise that will be of interest to anyone interested in this complex and fascinating country. Navarro issues a call to arms for China and the rest of the world to act now to address the country’s mounting problems–pollution, public health, intellectual property piracy, resource scarcity, and more–or risk both serious instability within China and military conflict between China and other major powers.”

–Elizabeth C. Economy, Director for Asia Studies, Council on Foreign Relations

 

“In this comprehensive examination of China’s mushrooming economy, Navarro masterfully illuminates the dark sides of China’s great leaps into privatization and globalization.”

–Boston Globe

 

“…serves as an important touchstone for any prudent discussion regarding the implications to China’s growth. For those unfamiliar with China’s ecological disaster, natural-resource crisis or aging and soon to be inverted demographics, this book is a very good introduction.”

–Asia Times

 

“In this informative volume, Navarro explores China’s impact on the world and the perils it creates. This provocative and potentially controversial book will be of value to a wide audience. Summing up: Highly recommended”

–CHOICE  

 

“The Coming China Wars has a wealth of fascinating information about the impact of China on the world and the perils it creates. Because of China’s great importance, this is a book we should all read.”

–D. Quinn Mills, Harvard Business School

 

“Peter Navarro has captured the breadth of areas where China and the United States have fundamental conflicts of business, economic, and strategic interests. He puts this into a global context demonstrating where China’s current development course can lead to conflict. His recommendations for nations to coalesce to respond to the challenges posed by China are practical. This book should be in the hands of every businessperson, economist, and policy-maker.”

–Dr. Larry M. Wortzel, Chairman, US-China Economic and Security Review Commission
