“The China Factor is right on the mark. It addresses a real need, one that very few others are tackling - the action that US and other Western–based companies can take in response to the China challenge. 


Global competitiveness is a huge problem for the West and companies are ill–prepared.
 

The China Factor goes beyond what other books do, providing an important, insightful, and practical prescription on how companies can shift their strategy…”

– KEN WILCOX, Chairman, Silicon Valley Bank
