[A] wide-ranging work, containing important information of use to students, to teachers and to managers who are contemplating first-time entry into the Chinese market....In summary, this is a book worth reading, and purchasing. To acquire this level of knowledge (geographic/economic) would require several years of intensive study....Professor Waters brings together a vast amount of data and presents them in a readable and logical manner.-Journal of Business-to Business Marketing
Watlers' book portrays an intriguing view of China's future, which might not find universal agreement but the author does discuss a rage of important issues. The scope of the book being wide, it lacks in-depth analysis of various themes but the author sets out his arguments clearly and concisely. The book is an interesting addition to the literature and deserves attention from a wide audience.-China Information
