Product Description
From the Inside Flap
Viewed from a distance, China appears to be a stable economy growing at a healthy pace. Looking more closely, however, we discover a flawed civilization stalling under the weight of its own culture. Whats Wrong with China is a personal book about a great nation at a crossroads.
‘There is more to fear from a weak China than one that is strong’ we are told, implying that its main problems are either macroeconomic or political. Whats Wrong with China takes the reader behind the scenes and down the rabbit hole to show that the nations most fundamental problems are actually social in nature.
More than a century ago, China watchers worried about the imminent ‘crackup’ of the country. Today we find ourselves again preoccupied by such a possibility, though this time around the stakes are much higher. Given the size of Chinas economy and the extent of its integration into the global system, the countrys difficulties are now our own, whether we like it or not.
No one writes about China like Paul Midler. Drawing from years of ontheground experience and research, he mixes penetrating observations with amusing historical references, weaving a tapestry that is both engaging and illuminating.
China is an enigma, a Gordian knot, an impenetrable riddle that requires a different approach. Whats Wrong with China is a collage of ideas, a grab bag of themes and theories, not the least of which is the authors supposition that Chinese culture is rooted in a deep informalism that cannot be eradicated.
Business and politics are inextricably tied, so the book necessarily touches on global affairs. We must let go of many preconceived notions, Midler warns, as he addresses facets of the ‘China puzzle’ that typically receive little or no attention.
Whats Wrong with China offers especially useful lessons for those doing business in China, but this is no howto guide. Rather than tell us how our affairs should be conducted in this strange land, Midler describes how things are done, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions.
From the Back Cover
Whats Wrong with China is the widely anticipated followup to Paul Midlers Poorly Made in China, an expos of China manufacturing practices. Applying a wider lens in this account, he reveals many of the deep problems affecting Chinese society as a whole. Once again, Midler delivers the goods by rejecting commonly held notions, breaking down old myths, and providing fresh explanations of lesserunderstood cultural phenomena.
‘Whats Wrong with China is the most cogent, insightful and penetrating examination I have read on the paradoxes and selfdeceptions of Modern China, written by someone who has lived in the country and dealt with it day to day for decades. This book will be hated by the commissars, because it is a triumph of analysis and good sense.’
PAUL THEROUX
‘I sure wish Id read this book before heading to China – or Chinatown, for that matter. China runs on an entirely different operating system – both commercial and personal. Midlers clear, clever analysis and illuminating, often hilarious tales foster not only understanding but respect.’
MARY ROACH

با مشاهده از راه دور، به نظر میرسد چین اقتصادی باثباتی است که با سرعتی سالم رشد میکند. با این حال، با نگاهی دقیق تر، متوجه تمدنی معیوب می شویم که زیر بار فرهنگ خود متوقف شده است. چه مشکلی با چین دارد یک کتاب شخصی درباره ملتی بزرگ است که در یک دوراهی قرار دارد.
به ما می گویند: «از چین ضعیف بیشتر می توان ترسید تا چینی قوی»، به این معنی که مشکلات اصلی آن یا کلان اقتصادی یا سیاسی است. چه مشکلی با چین دارد، خواننده را به پشت صحنه و به سوراخ خرگوش می برد تا نشان دهد که اساسی ترین مشکلات کشورها در واقع ماهیتی اجتماعی دارند.
بیش از یک قرن پیش، ناظران چین نگران “تخریب” قریب الوقوع این کشور بودند. امروز ما دوباره خود را درگیر چنین احتمالی میدانیم، اگرچه این بار خطرات بسیار بالاتر است. با توجه به اندازه اقتصاد چین و وسعت ادغام آن با سیستم جهانی، چه بخواهیم چه نخواهیم، اکنون مشکلات کشور مربوط به خود ماست.
هیچ کس مانند پل میدلر در مورد چین نمی نویسد. او با استفاده از سا
