The Fragility of China

""The ""Chinese Century"" lasted just two decades. In this comprehensive and perceptive study Dennis Unkovic explains why.""--Gordon G. Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China and China Is Going to War ""If Russia had not been communist, there would have been no Cold War, but because Russia was communist--systemically stupid--it was bound to lose that war. Dennis Unkovic's much-needed message punctures the myth of China's inexorable ascent: Because China is a Leninist party-state it is dangerous--and doomed to inefficiencies and irrationalities that will sap its vigor.""--George F. Will, syndicated columnist ""In this inciteful analysis of our most formidable adversary, Dennis Unkovic traces China's remarkable transition from a backward agricultural country to an economic and military colossus. That swift transition threatens the current world order and poses a direct threat to the US. With dramatic use of his MAXTRENDS, Unkovic carefully outlines China's vulnerabilities. He makes it clear that China is not invincible and shows how the West can prevail. This book should be required reading at all our military academies."" --Major General William J. Mall, Jr. USAF (ret.) ""Is Xi Jinping the world's most powerful leader? Is this destined to become ""China's Century?"" In his book, Unkovic answers these critical questions and describes the serious challenges (MAXTRENDS) facing Xi Jinping and the CCP leadership. Anyone who wants to clearly understand the real truth about China and its global ambitions should definitely read this engaging--and at times frightening--book."" --Andre Laborde, Chief Investment Officer and President, Bena Capital.
