This book will be hated by the commissars, because it is a triumph of analysis and good sense. \u003cbr\u003e--PAUL THEROUX\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI 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. \u003cbr\u003e--MARY ROACH\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Back Cover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat's Wrong with China \u003c\/i\u003eis the widely anticipated follow-up to Paul Midler's Poorly Made in China, an expos  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Midler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119213711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119213710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Paul Midler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924148355327,"sku":"9781119213710","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_437d8972-022c-49f1-8107-e8434ef19b3e.jpg?v=1681068753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whats-wrong-with-china-paul-midler-9781119213710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
