A chapter in China Counting, 2010, pp 1-10 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In our first book China Calling: a foot in the global door we describe how reforms over the past centuries have shaped modern China, allowing it to open doors in global trade and finance. With Western governments frantically trying to meet the financial exigencies of today, posterity will note that China’s foot is now well and truly wedged into those doors. The global credit crunch and recession of 2008 and 2009 reduced the value of Chinese investments in the West, yet paradoxically strengthened Chinese influence across the world, changing the balance of power.
