Approximately 20% of the worldâs population lives in the Peopleâs Republic of China. According to Chinese-American lawyer Gordon G. Chang, China appears from the outside to be politically stable and economically strong. Chang, however, argues that China is in social, cultural, economic and political turmoil. He claims that Chinaâs pending entry into the World Trade Organization will trigger social and political collapse. Gordon Chang has lived and worked in China for almost 20 years, most recently in Shanghai. He is the author of a new book entitled âThe Coming Collapse of China.â
Gordon Chang recommends âThe Tipping Point,â by Malcolm Gladwell.
