For years, China has served as the 'factory floor' for global production, driving down prices for consumers worldwide. But, unfortunately, China's rapid and chaotic industrialization has put it on a collision course with the rest of the world. The Coming China Wars was the first book to systematically cover all those conflicts: political, economic, and environmental. Now, in this new edition, Dr. Peter Navarro has thoroughly updated the entire book. You'll find new chapters on the danger posed by China's flood of defective products and contaminated food; China's dramatic military expansion and the rising threat of a 'hot war'; China's space program and its profound strategic implications; China's growing suppression of human rights and free speech; and much more. The coming China Wars will be fought over everything from decent jobs, liveable wages, and advanced technologies to strategic resources...and eventually to our most basic of all needs: bread, water, and air. Unless all nations immediately address these impending conflicts, the results may be catastrophic. Like the First Edition, this book demands that we think much more deeply about how to stop the coming China Wars, laying out hard choices that must be made sooner rather than later. This new edition offers even more policy recommendations, including original contributions from several of the world's most important China experts.

Peter Navarro is a business professor at the University of California-Irvine and author of the bestselling investment book If It’s Raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks and the path-breaking management book The Well-Timed Strategy.

Introduction"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 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 , Director for Asia Studies, Council on Foreign Relations"In this comprehensive examination of China's mushrooming economy, Navarro masterfully illuminates the dark sides of China's great leaps into privatization and globalization." -- Boston Globe"...serves as an important touchstone for any prudent discussion regarding the implications to China's growth. For those unfamiliar with China's ecological disaster, natural-resource crisis or aging and soon to be inverted demographics, this book is a very good introduction." -- Asia Times"In this informative volume, Navarro explores China's impact on the world and the perils it creates. This provocative and potentially controversial book will be of value to a wide audience. Summing up: Highly recommended" -- CHOICE"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 , Harvard Business School"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 Introduction to China's "Butterfly Effect on Steroids"What happens in China, doesn't stay in China. It's the "Butterfly Effect" on steroids.--Ron VaraCommunist China has leaped onto the world stage as a capitalist superpower with astonishing speed. Today, China exports its vast array of wares at the competition-crushing "China Price," and we as consumers benefit greatly. If that were the end of the story, there would be no story--just an enchanting little ode to the virtues of competition in an increasingly "flat world."Unfortunately, this story doesn't end with a cornucopia of cheap Chinese goods. Instead, this story aboutThe Coming China Warsbegins precisely at this point. It is a complex story about how the extremely rapid and often chaotic industrialization of the most populous country on the planet has put China on a collision course with the rest of the world.At least one dimension of this complex story is already well understood. China's conquest of so many of the world's export markets has vaporized literally millions of manufacturing jobs and driven down wages from the heartland of America and themaquiladorasof Mexico to the slums of Bangladesh, the shores of Indonesia, and the once teeming
