His experience and expertise allows him to offer readers interested in learning about Chinese business unique insight into the current globalization of China's economy. China Goes West is the sort of book MBA students ought to read as they begin their international studies. It is also the sort of book politicians interested in gaining practical knowledge about Chinese investments in American businesses ought to familiarize themselves with. Moreover, despite its effective and narrow focus, China Goes West is accessible to a less specialized audience and therein lies the real excellence of the book. China Goes West offers readers a more educated and sinocentric perspective than just about any other book you'll find outside of China. It is well worth the time of anyone interested in learning more about Chinese business.' -Peter Kovas, Editor, Learn China Business Show Less
