Description
What’s Wrong with China is the most cogent, insightful and penetrating
examination I have read on the paradoxes and self-deceptions of Modern
China, written by someone who has lived in the country and dealt with it
day to day for decades. This book will be hated by the commissars, because
it is a triumph of analysis and good sense. —PAUL THEROUX I sure wish I’d
read this book before heading to China—or Chinatown, for that matter. China
runs on an entirely different operating system—both commercial and
personal. Midler’s clear, clever analysis and illuminating, often hilarious
tales foster not only understanding but respect. —MARY ROACH From the Back
Cover What’s Wrong with China is the widely anticipated follow-up to Paul
Midler’s Poorly Made in China, an exposé of China manufacturing practices.
Applying a wider lens in this account, he reveals many of the deep problems
affecting Chinese society as a whole. Once again, Midler delivers the goods
by rejecting commonly held notions, breaking down old myths, and providing
fresh explanations of lesser-understood cultural phenomena.
