In the Jaws of the Dragon

"In recent years, popular wisdom has held that opening American markets to Chinese goods was the best way to promote democracy in Beijing - that the Communist Party's grip would quickly weaken as increasingly affluent Chinese citizens embraced American values." "That popular wisdom was wrong. As Eamonn Fingleton shows in this devastating book, instead of America changing China, China is changing America. Although this process of reverse convergence has been swept largely under the carpet by knee-jerk globalists in the American press, Americans will soon be hearing much more about it. Selling the American national interest short, countless corporations abjectly do Beijing's lobbying in Congress."--BOOK JACKET.Fingleton, Eamonn is the author of 'In the Jaws of the Dragon', published 2008 under ISBN 9780312362324 and ISBN 0312362323.
