Why China ...
The only book that explains all three elements of China's success:
1. Talent at the Top: Only the brightest, most idealistic people are admitted to politics - a policy unchanged in 2200 years.
2. Data in the Middle: policies are implemented, tracked, and optimized based on terabytes of data. The People's Republic of China (PRC) is the world's largest consumer of public surveys.
3. Democracy at the Bottom: ordinary people, all unpaid amateurs, assemble twice a year to check the statistics and sign off on new legislation. Policies need a minimum of 66% support to become law. That's why 95% of Chinese say the country is on the right track.
The proof? There are more hungry children, more poor, homeless, drug-addicted, and imprisoned people in America than in China.
Why China Leads the World investigates why the epidemic accelerated the change of global leadership from America to China and examines China's bigger, steadier economy, its science leadership, stronger military, more powerful allies, and wider international support.
Crammed with charts, footnotes, and lengthy quotes, Why China Leads the World is a profoundly disturbing book that helps readers understand the tectonic shift and adapt to this new era - and even thrive in it.
***
The size of China's displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new balance. It is not possible to pretend that this is just another big player. This is the biggest player in the history of the world.
- Lee Kuan Yew, "The Future of US-China Relations". The Atlantic.

The Coronavirus accelerated the pace of change of global leadership from America to China. There are now more hungry children, more poor, homeless, drug-addicted, and imprisoned people in America than in China.
Suddenly, China's larger, steadier economy, its leadership in science, its stronger military, more powerful allies, and wider international support have handed it a lead that widens every day. Crammed with direct quotes from its movers and shakers, charts, and footnotes, Why China Leads the World tells a remarkable tale, explains a tectonic shift and helps you adapt to this new era, and even thrive in it.
***
If we could just be China for one day we could actually authorize the right decisions.
- Thomas L Friedman, The New York Times
300 pages, 27 charts and graphs. $9.99 on Amazon and in bookstores worldwide.
