China ya no es solo la fábrica del mundo, también es su mayor banquero. Con su enorme reserva en divisas podría comprar el planeta. Y ya ha empezado a hacerlo. Esto significa que el gobierno chino tiene, en pleno siglo XXI, un poder de control inaudito sobre los países occidentales. Las economías y gobiernos del llamado Primer Mundo necesitan sus inversiones para salir de la crisis. También los resultados de las multinacionales más poderosas dependen de China. Ni en sus sueños más ambiciosos Mao Tse Tung hubiera podido imaginar algo así.

Just a few years ago, people spoke of the US as a hyperpower—a titan stalking the world stage with more relative power than any empire in history. Yet as early as 1993, CIA director James Woolsey pointed out that although Western powers had "slain a large dragon" by defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War, they now faced a "variety of poisonous snakes." In The Dragons and the Snakes, the eminent soldier-scholar David Kilcullen asks how, and what, opponents of the West have learned during the last quarter-century of conflict.

In the last few years, China's aid program has leapt out of the shadows. But China's tradition of secrecy about its aid fueled rumors and speculation, making it difficult to gauge the risks and opportunities provided by China's growing embrace. This well-timed book, by one of the world's leading experts, provides the first comprehensive account of China's aid and economic cooperation overseas. Deborah Brautigam tackles the myths and realities, explaining what the Chinese are doing, how they do it, how much aid they give, and how it all fits into their "going global" strategy.

¿Sabía usted que dos agencias del gobierno estadounidense -el Centro para el Control de Enfermedades y el Comando Estratégico- han publicado planes de contingencia ante la eventualidad de un brote zombi? Siguiendo esa insigne tradición, los autores de este libro se preguntan cuáles serían las implicaciones políticas de una pandemia zombi como la descrita en "The Walking Dead".

At the dawn of the 21st century, China has emerged as the "factory floor" for global production, providing the world with cheap goods at low prices.
