The 20th century was one of intense exchanges between Europe and the USA. The 21st century will be marked by a similar relationship between the Old Continent and China. Throughout these pages, we see this possible new relationship emerging, encompassing economic and technological matters as well as issues relating to culture, history and society. This is a book that fills in the gaps with regard to what we know about China and steers us away from preconceived ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Baverez is a private investor.

The new President of France just took office. He knows his country needs radical reforms. The question is how to make his mark from the word go and how to make a clean break from his predecessors' policies. He has an idea: instead of going to Berlin on his first official foreign visit - as is customary - why not go to Beijing? What better example is there of a country where radical reforms have met with success? In order to get a better idea of how things are changing in China, he asks someone who lives and works there and has daily contact with Chinese people to come with him. \u003cp\u003e During the flight from Paris to Beijing on the presidential jet, he and his traveling companion have a lively, quick-fire conversation about China. What comes to light is far from the preconceived ideas held in the West. We see the true nature of the new Chinese cultural revolution, backed by technology, service industries, and the thirst for consumer goods - an unexpected source of inspiration when it comes to reforming Western economies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ABOUT THE EDITOR \u003cbr\u003e David Baverez is a private investor.
