Chinese entrepreneurship, emerging multinationals, politics, and globalization
by China venture news

essential book: China and the new world order:

How entrepreneurship, globalization, and bornderless business are reshaping China and the world

by George Zhibin Gu

Reviewed by China Venture News, www.chinaventurenews.com

The subject of Chinese entrepreneurship continues to resonate with global investors and especially the venture capital markets. George Zhibin Gu, author, business consultant and investment banker in his latest book, China and the New World Order, brilliantly reflects on how entrepreneurship, globalization and the borderless communities are reshaping a new China.

The author received his education at Nanjing University in China and Vanderbilt University and the University of Michigan in the United States, he holds two MS degrees and a PhD from the University of Michigan. Here's an informative link at Financial Sense, where Gu shares his views on China.

Gu is particularly bullish about Shenzhen's role in encouraging small business development. He writes, " Shenzhen is a haven for an estimated 350,000 small business owners, who are involved in every conceivable industry...he adds, Hong Kong is finding that it has a lot to learn from the city on its northern border. Ten years ago, Hong Kong residents might have paid the bill after dining with Shenzhen friends. Now the Shenzhen residents are likely to compete to pay-a big change."

While the Middle Kingdom has experienced several major watersheds in the past several decades, China continues to learn new lessons as a major force in the global economy. It was only a few weeks ago that the media trumpeted the record-breaking initial stock sale of China's biggest bank, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China or ICBC- the world's biggest IPO, which attracted over $350 billion of demand from global investors.

With the surge of state-owned companies wanting to tap international capital markets, the arrival of this insightful book is quite timely and a must recommended read for all China watchers.

Book Description
China is the world's number-one growth story now. But how is it that China has achieved such quick growth in this era? How is it that made-in-China products can flood the globe? Is a trade war going to happen? Or is a new world order in the making? This second volume of a trilogy-by Chinese journalist/consultant George Zhibin Gu-aims to answer these questions and more.

Today, more than a half-million overseas companies conduct business inside China. Learn about all the opportunities this exploding market presents, including banking, insurance, and stock market, as well as the yuan and trade and cross-border business issues. Moreover, it contains extensive studies on China's political-economic reform as well as evolving international relations.

This volume addresses eight key topics:

I. China's New Role in the World Development

II. The Yuan, Trade, and Investment

III. China's Fast-Changing Society, Politics, and Economy (in light of
Chinese and global history)

IV. China's Banking, Insurance, and Stock Market Reforms

V. Chinese Multinationals vs. Global Giants

VI. The Taiwan Issue: Current Affairs and Trends (federation as an
alternate way for unity)

VII. India vs. China: Moving Ahead at the Same Time

VIII. The Japan-China Issue: Evolving Relations in Light of History

Today, all nations increasingly rely on one another for development, a trend that will only strengthen as time passes. As a saying goes, "The future is being shaped today." This book will appeal to readers everywhere
regardless of their particular interests.
