Stunning Book By Mr James Kynge (Business Journalist of the Year 2004)


"Let China sleep. As, if China wake up, it will shake the world"

by Napoleon Bonaparte


Due to my trip to China this upcoming Tuesday, I have bought and read the book called " China Shakes the World: The Rise of A Hungry Nation", describing why China become a new icon for world economic, instead of US or UN.

Some of the reasons behind are the long hours that Chinese can work in a day (some can even survive for 18 to 20 hours working time); the cheap labour that China may provide, which affect the overall pricing of finished product produced by China. In the book, it describes very well of how "Made in China" products have become threats for lots of European and US manufacturers, in which they may sell the products with half to five times lower than what offered in UN or US; which caused many of those factories are bought and sent to China, or some of the clever businessman, will move the whole operations to China.
The book also describes of how China manufacturers imitate or produce a slightly difference products compared to the genuine products, just like the time when Japan departs to what it achieve today.
Some of the Chinese Tycoon are also exposed and mentioning how they depart before they become of what they are today. RECOMMENDED for those who wants to understand what makes China Today!
