For years, our leaders posited that China could be drawn to increasing liberalization through the power of the free market, but Mann asked us to consider a very real alternative- What if China's economy continues to expand but its government remains as dismissive of democracy and human rights as it is now?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Now the results are in- the reign of Xi Jinping has proven that Mann was right. To understand how China got to its current state and why it may not be too late to turn back, \u003ci\u003eThe China Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading. Calling for an end to the current policy of overlooking China's abuses for the sake of business opportunities, Mann presents an alternative path to a better China.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49668143022353,"sku":"GOR003829600","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50308841832721,"sku":"CIN0143112929G","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999468523793,"sku":"NIN9780143112921","price":25.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51318029779217,"sku":"CIN0143112929VG","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430096859409,"sku":"NLS9780143112921","price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0143112929.jpg?v=1753685813","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/china-fantasy-book-james-mann-9780143112921","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
