China is developing fast into one of the world's industrial nations. It is a remarkable achievement for a country that was barely able to feed itself 30 years ago. New wealth promises much to China's vast population and the effects can be felt right across the globe. But can China's economic boom be sustained, and is the government capable of steering the country into the future? This book explores how these huge changes came about, and whether China really can become the next superpower.
