China's Economic Arrival

This book is a collection of essays from MacroPolo, the think tank of the Paulson Institute in Chicago. The picture of China that emerges in this volume is one built from the ground up, across economics, politics, and technology. In addition, because China's rise has important global dimensions, a US-China section composed of two essays is included, which combine both a macro perspective and a view of the bilateral relationship through the history of a significant multinational firm. Finally, this volume will include an original introduction and conclusion by Damien Ma, editor and co-founder of MacroPolo.

The essays are analytically driven and provide novel perspectives, context, granular data, and policy conclusions that get lost in the daily churn of news cycles. None of the essays in this volume focuses on national security or geopolitics. Rather, the volume grapples squarely with how China's domestic economic, political, and technological developments have transformed not only itself but also the world at large.

Gives a wide range of informed perspectives on China's economic rise Explores what the implications for the US and global economy of China's rise are Provides policy suggestions for ensuring a win-win relationship between the two countries
