The China Dream: How the Aspirations of Government, Business, and People are Driving the Greatest Transformation in History

Since the early 1990s, hundreds of millions of people have moved to cities in China, where they gain access to better schools, healthcare, and infrastructure, as well as higher-paying jobs. China's GDP has grown from $300 per capita to more than $10,000 in the past 30 years and lifted more people into the middle class than in any other country at any other point in human history.

It is important for investors, U.S. companies and anyone interested in the global economy to understand China. This is not to view China simply through rose-colored glasses. But despite the tensions between the US and China, it is essential to remember an important point often overlooked –1.4 billion Chinese consumers. China is rapidly shifting from an export-driven, low-cost manufacturer to a consumer-driven economy, and the wealth of Chinese consumers continues to grow.
