China's Change ― The Greatest Show on Earth

China's Change injects timely, original ideas into the world's most important, if confused debate. Many countries, companies and people have lost their way. Culture wars-divided US, post-Brexit Europe and post-TPP Asia suffer mounting uncertainty and disruption. East Asia is losing familiarity with what created its economic miracle.Change is the cry from the US to Europe, Asia to Australasia. The snag is the West has no playbook to help. China however has regularly reinvented itself for over 2,000 years by understanding change, using its Book of Change and traditional philosophy to regain control of its future.The startling argument of China's Change is to "Look to China". Outrageous? Ridiculous? Why? The rest of Asia and the West have learned before from China, particularly from its philosophy and history. Does that mean that every country, person or firm will become Chinese in their thinking and values? No. China's approach to managing change only supplies the process not individual policies: the how not the what. Policies have to be created locally.China's process provides a roadmap for everyone grappling world-wide with accelerating disruption. China's Change also offers an understanding of China's past, present and future — its transformation, philosophy, history, economics, politics, prospects and impact — in a way that no other book has done.The world needs a new narrative on China. The current one of China's fragility and eventually fatal problems is increasingly flawed, continually proven wrong by the evidence. China's economy has not collapsed since Gordon Chang in 2001 wrote The Coming Collapse of China. Yet these ideas still dominate the popular media and even parts of academia. Grasping how China has avoided collapse and defied the negative narrative enables anybody, firm or country to navigate an era of accelerating disruption.
