China's Global Impact

Giles Chance’s first book China and the Credit Crisis: The Emergence of a New World Order (2010) was the first to describe a change to the post-war, America-dominated global power structure. His new book examines China’s increasingly important global impact, starting from the late 1990s when Chinese exports started to produce global disinflation, up to today, as China, now a great power, creates a web of alliances to balance America’s control of the Western hemisphere. The author makes use of his experience in Chinese technology and as an investment banker for private Chinese companies to analyse China’s economy and its technology development. Giles’ twenty-year experience in China business and ten years as a professor at Peking University have given him a unique insight into China’s evolution from the days of Mao and into how senior Chinese intellectuals and officials view China’s current and future role in world affairs
