Summary:

As China marks a quarter century of economic change and transformation, it stands poised to enter a new era. With the WTO entrance finally behind it and the Olympics 2008 and Expo 2010 ahead of it, China is undergoing a new wave of changes in every sense. Moreover, global conditions are presaging its entry as a strategic partner and player on both global and regional levels. Nonetheless, a host of economic, fiscal and business challenges remain in the midst of its first systematized leadership transition. How China manages its multiple transformation is the story of its new era.

Drawing together a broad array of expertise, regional analysis and concrete business judgements, China: Enabling A New Era of Changes sets a benchmark in synthesizing and clarifying the diverse factors that are shaping China's century. This book, the second in a series of books from the World Economic Forum on Asia presents: deep insight by leading economists and thinkers from China and abroadprovocating analyses of China's strategic relations, globally and with East Asia and Japanshort policy pieces by Chinese government leaders from the regional and central levelsan executive roundtable that brings together a uniquely diverse group of foreign and Chineses business leaders and challenges them to address and comment on China's most significant growth challenges.

This book is both a thought-provoking commentary on China's evolution, as well as a handbook for charting the country's continuing development. It is suitable for both the general reader seeking a guide on the main forces shaping China's growth as well as for the business person interested intapping into the emerging opportunities.
