China, Inc.: How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World by Ted C. Fishman

Anyone interested in the growth of China. A country that had ~9% growth (GDP) per year for the last three decades. Read China Inc. I assure you would not be disappointed.

Interesting facts about China:
·China has more speakers of English as a second language than America has native English speakers
·220 billion text messages were sent over mobile phones in China last year.
· Three hundred million rural Chinese will move to cities in the next fifteen years. China must build urban infrastructure equivalent to Houston's every month in order to absorb them.
