The Eagle and the Dragon: China's Economic Ascent

China's emergence onto the world's economic stage has been splashed across media headlines over the last several years and continues to gain prominence in the news. Where does all the discussion about China come from? Why has China suddenly become a force of competition in the global economy? And how did it happen? Readers of this book, whether they are clients of The Hartford or the average and curious U.S. consumers, will understand that China's emergence is no big surprise. In addition, the book will shed light on how the U.S. has fueled the growing relationship with China. This book is primarily an examination of the U.S.-China relationship from the U.S. side of the equation. It will draw on the author's own Washington and Wall Street experiences and on interviews with politicians, business leaders, and officials from lobbying groups and trade organizations. The financial news coverage and analyses of the leading daily, weekly and monthly media - print, radio and television - will also be utilized. The book will examine such issues as the politics surrounding China's admission into the World Trade Organization, and explain how non-economic and non-commercial concerns drove the decision making process as well as other large variables such as energy, inflation and jobs.Krosby, Quincy is the author of 'The Eagle and the Dragon: China's Economic Ascent', published 2007 under ISBN 9780470044810 and ISBN 0470044810.
