Used book – LA CHINE M'INQUIETE, JEAN-LUC DOMENACH

The colossus with feet of clay: rarely has a cliché been more appropriate than for China today. Yet it is important to identify where superficial cracks and hidden crevices lie, to gauge the authorities' actions beyond reassuring announcements, and to pinpoint the social or political risks weighing on the country. Combining information gathered during his long stay in China with the most recent international observations, Jean-Luc Domenach provides an unflinching X-ray of a country that is already looking forward to the Olympic Games festivities, even as it approaches a moment of truth.
