While America continues to be reeling from the 2008 financial crisis, a high unemployment rate, and a surge in federal government debt, China's economy is the next largest on the planet, and many predict it will exceed the United Claims' by 2020. Leader Obama called China's climb "a Sputnik point in time" - will America seize this point in time or continue steadily to treat China as its scapegoat? Mainstream press and the U.S. federal government regularly target China as a hazard. Rather than taking a look at China's power, affect, and contributions to the global economy in a poor light, Ann Lee asks, "What can America learn from its competition?" Why did China restore so quickly after the global economical meltdown? What accounts for China's extraordinary development, despite one of the best corporate duty rates on the planet? How does the Chinese political system avoid partisan rancor but achieve genuine general population accountability? From education to governance to overseas help, Lee details the insurance policies and practices that contain made China a global power and then isolates the ways the United States may use China's enduring rules to foster much-needed change at home. That is no whitewash. Lee is completely alert to China's shortcomings, particularly in the region of human protection under the law. She has family members who suffered during the Cultural Revolution. But by overemphasizing our dissimilarities with China, the United States stands to miss a essential opportunity. Filled with sharpened insights and in depth research, What the U.S. Can Study from China is Lee's rallying cry for a new approach at the same time when learning from one another is the main element to surviving and thriving.
