Hugo De Burgh
China: friend or foe?
Icon, 2006, 303.482 BUR

China’s economy is growing phenomenally, with half the world’s cranes currently on its soil. Its 1.3 billion people have around 300 million mobile phones, and a purchasing power second only to the US. Yet, especially in rural areas, there is widespread poverty. Tackling issues such as how China is managed and the way it uses its political and cultural influence, professor of Journalism and expert on China Hugo De Burgh asks whether China is a friend to be welcomed or a foe to be guarded against?
