Description:

In The Chinese Dream, a groundbreaking book about the rising middle class in China, business consultant and China expert Helen Wang challenges us to recognize that some of our fears about China are grossly misplaced. As a result of China’s new capitalist paradigm, a burgeoning middle class—calculated to reach 800 million within the next fifteen years—is jumping aboard the consumerism train and riding it for all it’s worth—a reality that may provide the answer to America’s economic woes. And with China’s increasing urbanization and top-down governmental approach, it now faces increasing energy, environmental, and health problems—problems that the U.S. can help solve. Through timely interviews, personal stories, and a historical perspective, China-born Wang takes us into the world of the Chinese entrepreneurial middle class to show how a growing global mindset and the realization of unity in diversity may ultimately provide the way to creating a saner, safer world for all.

Editorial Review:

The Chinese Dream offers a fascinating look at the huge and growing Chinese middle class and the impact it is having, and will continue to have, on the United States and the world. The author uses her interviews with a diverse array of Chinese citizens in many walks of life to explore how life has changed in China in the past several decades and to call for a recognition of the need for “unity in diversity,” which would promote better relationships between China and America. Interspersed with the author’s interviews and the facts and statistics gleaned from a number of news sources and reports are the author’s personal stories and reflections on her childhood in China, her arrival in the United States, and her visits back to that nation over the years. She challenges Western myths about China with strong research and pointed facts, and successfully paints a picture of the incredible opportunities that await the world if a spirit of openness and understanding can be brought to bear on relationships between China and the United States.

“Helen Wang … shows us how this important demographic will alter the global economy in the years ahead. A must-read for businesses that want to tap into this enormous market.” – Shaun Rein, Founder and Managing Director of China Market Research Group (CMR)
