"A Chinese journalist with two decades experience as an investment banker and business consultant, Gu provides an honest and no nonsense approach to understanding business in China today. He is not afraid to criticize the Chinese Communist Party and provides an astute and insightful introduction into the complex workings of the Chinese bureaucratic system and its effect on private Chinese initiatives and on foreign companies trying to do business in China. In turn, China's Global Reach also looks at the influence of foreign investment on the Chinese economy, government and society through foreign multinationals, including all the major players like Microsoft, Siemens and Bank of America. It offers numerous studies of emerging Chinese multinationals such as Lenovo, Sinopec and Huawei, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese corporations and their foreign counterparts. Gu provides an extremely up-to-date commentary on China's economy which is straightforward and reliable and he succeeds in conveying a huge amount of information in a very personable and reader friendly style."
