Book Description: Many of the arguments against China are flawed, and many debates and views on China's economic threat are distorted. The blame-game on China is partly a cover-up for some economies' inability or unwillingness to change to meet the China challenge. This book seeks to analyse and dispel the myths and expose the lies behind the political rhetoric of the China economic threat to the global economy, and to identify the real risk for Asia behind the perceived China threat. The fear that China's competitive stress would trigger another Asian crisis, as China gobbles up foreign demand and capital at the expense of Asia, is flawed. There are many stress points that could trigger another Asian economic crisis, including the region's bulging fiscal deficit, excessive foreign reserve build-up, insufficient structural reforms, an erroneous US monetary policy and even the rise of terrorism. But another Asian crisis is not inevitable. China could even be an opportunity for regional growth, helping to diffuse the regional time bomb. : Review: 'The author has made a new diagnosis of conventional views on China by treating them in an original and stimulating manner by showing a broad knowledge of published and unpublished materials on Asia, China in particular...The arguments are advanced through economic analysis, backed up by data and anecdotal evidence from the real world. The author has also analysed many of the arguments that point to China as a threat. Such a balanced assessment is the greatest value of the book.' - The Surveyors Times, Hong Kong: 'Lo introduces sophisticated economic concepts in such a way that even the layman will finish up with a stronger understanding of what's really happening behind the alarmist headlines.' - FinanaceAsia : About the Author: CHI LO is an economic strategist based in Hong Kong.
