This title in other formats:The Coming China Wars: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be Wonby Peter Navarro
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:“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

Discover how to protect yourself (or your business) from the defective and sometimes lethal products pouring out of China’s factories...how China’s enormous trade surplus threatens to “nuke” the U.S. economy...how China’s accelerating military buildup and secret Star Wars program is sharply tipping the global strategic balance...how China’s ”blood for oil” imperialism is devastating Africa and throwing kerosene on the Middle East powder keg...how China’s prodigious pollution kills close to a million Chinese a year while riding the jet stream to darken U.S. skies...and, perhaps most terrifying of all, how this nuclear superpower may be spiraling toward internal chaos.

•Killer toys, fake prescription drugs, stolen patents The growing dangers of China’s “weapons of mass production”
•China’s 21st century imperialism and tomorrow’s “blood for oil” flashpoints The coming U.S./China showdown over oil and natural resources
•America’s new and dangerous central banker How China’s gigantic trade surpluses threaten to destroy U.S. sovereignty
•Realistic solutions What can and must be done–by consumers, voters, government, and business Review:"In this comprehensive, contemporary look at the awakening giant that is China, Peter Navarro describes an emerging power beleaguered by both internal and external threats-if the Japanese don't get them, AIDS and SARS will. This will reassure those readers who are increasingly convinced that the Chinese will eat us for lunch. However, as Navarro points out, China's human and natural resources make her a formidable global player-and her native, amoral ruthlessness suggests she will win. Still, as a nation undergoing its Industrial Revolution in the Information Age, China has her problems transitioning from Communism to capitalist imperialism, as seems to be her goal. True, government and industry have forged strong bonds (that allow them to exploit slave labor and ignore environmental and economic constraints that hamper other nations), but like any modern nation, China is paying the price of competing in a global economy: pollution; rapacious private medical care expenses; an aging, under-pensioned population; international tensions; and a large and disgruntled peasant working class. Navarro, whose inclination to breathless hyperbole makes even a chapter on dam construction exciting, tellingly devotes 10 chapters to China's problems and one to their solution-essentially tired policy prescriptions (wean the U.S. from oil dependence and cheap Chinese imports). This informative book will teach readers to understand the dragon, just not how to vanquish it." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Book News Annotation:Navarro (Paul Merage School of Business, U. of California at Irvine)
argues that the rise of China is the greatest threat to world peace
and prosperity today. In making this argument, he identifies eight
"wars" China is engaged in: destroying global intellectual property
regimes, operating as a major banking hub for drug money laundering,
despoiling the environment with toxic industrial emissions, working
with dictators around the world in order to satisfy their need for
oil, acting as a relentless imperial creditor nation, endangering the
welfare and prosperity of lower Mekong River countries through the
reconstruction of massive dams, failing to manage its own internal
political stability, and threatening to unleash HIV/AIDS and other
disease epidemics upon its own population and the rest of the world.
His goal in this work is to identify the underlying economic roots of
all of these "wars" in order to point the way towards solutions.

Summing Up: Highly recommended. --CHOICE, April 2007
“…serves as an important touchstone for any prudent discussion regarding the implications to China's growth.

"In this comprehensive examination of China's mushrooming economy, Navarro masterfully illuminates the dark sides of China's great leaps into privatization and globalization." --Cecil Johnson, Boston Globe Review:"Peter Navarro is that rarest and most valuable of China-watchers — an economist who sees the big strategic picture as well. The Coming China Wars contains the kind of realistic analysis needed by all Americans today, from voters to presidential candidates." - Alan Tonelson Synopsis:China's breakneck industrialization is placing it on a collision course with the entire world. Tomorrow's China Wars will be fought over everything from decent jobs, livable wages, and leading-edge technologies to strategic resources such as oil, copper, and steel...even food, water, and air. In The Coming China Wars, best-selling author Peter Navarro previews all these potential conflicts—and reveals the urgent, radical decisions that must be made to avoid catastrophe.
You'll learn how China's thirst for oil is driving nuclear proliferation in Iran, genocide in the Sudan, even Japan's remilitarization. You'll discover China's shocking role in the drug trade and how its reborn flesh trade may help trigger tomorrow's worst AIDS crisis. Navarro also reveals how China has become the world's most ruthless imperialist...how it is promoting global environmental disaster... and, perhaps most terrifying of all, how this nuclear superpower and pirate nation may be spiraling toward internal chaos.
The threat is real. We all must come to understand it and then act! Start here and now by arming yourself with the information and insights of The Coming China Wars.
