Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The latest addition to the acclaimed series, this one-of-a-kind visual survey captures the current state of the awakening superpower in the East--China. Full-color maps and distinctive graphics offer accessible, incisive information about this emergent international player. For centuries the world's most populous country, China now has the fastest growing economy, which threatens to surpass the United States. The profound changes occurring in China are illustrated in this atlas, along with some clashes of priorities: between population growth and the one-child family; human rights and political stability; energy needs and the environment.
