Perhaps the most momentous event of our time is Asia's rise in the world economy. China in particular has become an important engine of economic growth with hundreds of millions there escaping poverty. Roger Philips & Eugene Kim's Business in Contemporary China thoroughly considers China's current role in the world's economy and examines the effect of socio-economic and technological change that will impact China's developmental trajectory in the future. David Ahlstrom, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China The authors provide an authoritative and up to date review of the political, economic, social and technological environments of business in China. This might be the best available book for teaching about Chinese business environments on the market today. Topics such as the new normal, the shadow economy, One Belt One Road, the rise of internet companies, land rights and rule of law, among others, are given in depth analytical treatment. I highly recommend this book to China business researchers and students. Ilan Alon, University of Agder, Norway
