China is set to become the world's next superpower. Should America celebrate - or be afraid? China: Friend or Foe? deals with vital questions: Who are China's power-players? Will the Chinese economy increase trade or kill off our livelihoods? How is China using its political and cultural influence? Accessible and hard-hitting, China: Friend or Foe? goes beyond borders and stereotypes to explain what China means to America and the West at large.
Hugo de Burgh first worked in China at the end of the Cultural Revolution and met many leading revolutionaries there, before returning to study and teach in Paris and Edinburgh. As a journalist he has worked for Scottish Television, BBC Scotland and Channel 4. He is currently Professor of Journalism at the University of Westminster and Director of the China Media Centre.
