Next to the United States, China has become the world's most ruthless
imperialist.. it is promoting global environmental disaster... and,
perhaps most terrifying of all, this nuclear superpower and pirate
nation may be spiraling toward internal chaos.
Coming China Wars, The: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be
Won
By Peter Navarro.
Published Oct 19, 2006 by Financial Times Prentice Hall.
China's breakneck industrialization is placing it on a collision
course with the entire world. Tomorrow's China Wars will be fought
over everything from decent jobs, livable wages, and leading-edge
technologies to strategic resources such as oil, copper, and
steel...even food, water, and air. In The Coming China Wars, best-
selling author Peter Navarro previews all these potential conflicts-
and reveals the urgent, radical decisions that must be made to avoid
catastrophe.
You'll learn how China's thirst for oil is driving nuclear
proliferation in Iran, genocide in the Sudan, even Japan's
remilitarization. You'll discover China's shocking role in the drug
trade and how its reborn flesh trade may help trigger tomorrow's worst
AIDS crisis. Navarro also reveals how China has become the world's
most ruthless imperialist...how it is promoting global environmental
disaster... and, perhaps most terrifying of all, how this nuclear
superpower and pirate nation may be spiraling toward internal chaos.
The threat is real. We all must come to understand it and then act!

"Peter Navarro has captured the breadth of areas where China and the
United States have fundamental conflicts of business, economic and
strategic interests. He puts this into a global context demonstrating
where China's current development course can lead to conflict. His
recommendations for nations to coalesce to respond to the challenges
posed by China are practical. This book should be in the hands of
every businessperson, economist and policy-maker."
-Dr. Larry M. Wortzel, Chairman, US-China Economic and Security Review
Commission
"The Coming China Wars is a gripping, fact-filled account of the dark
side of China's rise that will be of interest to anyone interested in
this complex and fascinating country. Navarro makes no pretense toward
searching for the middle ground in the China debate. He issues a call
to arms for China and the rest of the world to act now to address the
country's mounting problems-pollution, public health, intellectual
property piracy, resource scarcity and more-or risk both serious
instability within China and military conflict between China and other
major powers."
-Elizabeth C. Economy, C.V. Starr Senior Fellow and Director of Asia
Studies, Council on Foreign Relations
"What Al Gore does for climate change, Peter Navarro does for China.
This book will hit you right between the eyes. A gargantuan wake-up
call."
-Stuart L. Hart, S.C. Johnson Chair of Sustainable Global Enterprise,
Cornell University, Author of "Capitalism at the Crossroads"
"The Coming China Wars has a wealth of fascinating information about
the impact of China on the world and the perils it creates.
Because of China's great importance, this is a book we should all
read."
-D. Quinn Mills, Alfred J. Weatherhead Jr. Professor of Business
Administration, Harvard Business School
"This is a well researched and illuminating book and is a necessary
counter to a large body of opinion that posits an inevitable and even
peaceful rise of China and chooses to ignore most of the author's
message."
-Richard Fisher, Vice President, International Assessment and Strategy
Center
