Hugh’s advantage is that he got to understand China’s diaspora before working in China, going through the numbers at the ground level and meeting people engaged in both business and officialdom” Andrew Sheng Former Chief Adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission Head of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and Rights Information: author of From Asian to Global Financial Crisis All language rights “Hugh Peyman knows what he is talking about. Far from seeing China through a Western prism available. — and consistently getting things wrong — he understands China like few others.” Martin Jacques 404pp Best-selling author of When China Rules the World Pub. date: Mar 2018 “Every time you hear the negative alarm about China, reach for China’s Change.” 978-981-3231-42-9 Ralph Layman US$78 / £69 / SGD78 State Street Global Advisors Vice Chairman 978-981-3231-99-3(pbk) “China’s Change is essential reading for any serious global investor. Get insights from the US$38 / £33 / SGD36 perspective of a researcher who sees things from top-down and bottom-up and who has lived in China for 15 years.» Ng Kok Song Former Chief Investment Officer of the Government Investment Corporation of Singapore and Adviser to PIMCO “Punctures the biggest myths about the Chinese economy, from ghost cities to shadow banks. A great read, likely to change many readers’ views on China.” Andy Rothman Matthews Asia Investment Strategist, former US diplomat and top-rated CLSA strategist “Really like the way this is going for ‘change’. China’s Change is onto something, allowing it to be philosophical economics, which is much more beguiling than straight economics, of course! Particularly drawn in by the question of ‹what is China getting right›.» James Kynge Emerging Markets Editor Financial Times and award-winning author of China Shakes The World “All travellers to China, whether on business, holiday or study, should take this book that has it all on China: history, philosophy, government, politics, business and economics.” Ho Kwon Ping Banyan Tree Resorts Founder, Singapore Management University Trustees Chairman and author of The Ocean in a Drop “A very valuable book. Makes cogent arguments, with a lot of valid, interesting and provocative statements.” Ian Johnson Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Wild Grass “Fascinating: has a flair for making the difficult to grasp and conceptualise accessible.” Mike Tsang Editor, Chatham House “Ahead of the curve, more visionary than most China followers and even lots of Chinese!” William Fu Anglo American Group China Chief Representative “Brilliant. China’s Change is the book that needs to be written. Just excellent. Monumental.» Ulrik Trampe Odin Capital Founder Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2018 WORLD SCIENTIFIC 1 China’s Change injects timely, original ideas into the world›s most important, if confused, debate over how to manage the twin challenges of anaemic economic growth and accelerating global disruption. Change is the cry from the US to Europe, Asia to Australasia. The snag is the West has no playbook to help. China however, to regain control of its future, has regularly reinvented itself by understanding change›s nature through traditional philosophy. This book argues it is time to “Look at China” but stresses China’s approach to managing change only supplies the process not individual policies: the how not the what. Policies have to be created Asian Studies locally. In managing change, traditional thought is China’s X-Factor, the key to China’s record- breaking economic transformation. To grasp this, China’s Change provides an understanding of China›s past, present and future through its philosophy, history, economics, business, politics, prospects and impact in a way that no other book has done. Two big global questions are answered. Can other countries, firms and individuals find paths out of their dim twilight by adapting China’s change process? Can China continue to create one-third of world growth, more than the US, EU and Japan combined, to help cure the last decade’s global economic malaise? China’s roadmap for change enables anyone to navigate growing global disruption. Ironically China’s process is built on such ignored-in-the-West ideas as long-term thinking, clear priorities, gradualism and non-ideological pragmatism that earlier powered two centuries of Western economic dominance. If the West and rest of Asia learn from China to manage change,

    Briefing 4 May 2013 Why We – Especially the West – Need the UN Development System Kishore Mahbubani Western countries have created a UN development system that is underfunded and hamstrung by politics. As the relative power of the West declines, these countries should invest more in the UN to ensure global stability. Institutions of global governance are weak by design not default. Another constant of Western strategy has been to bypass established As Singapore’s permanent representative in New York, I encountered universal institutions for ad hoc groups like the G7 and G8 or senior members of the American establishment who lamented the multilateral organizations dominated by them like the Organization UN’s poor condition. The explanation was the domination by the for Economic Co-operation and Development and the North poor and weak states of Africa and Asia and the poor quality of Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Do you know that our speakers were actually spread out in nine different time zones? Our European friends dialed in at 2 am in the morning. My great appreciation to all, for your sacrifice and your contributions. Second, I want to thank all the participants for watching or listening in. I hope the discussions in the past few days have been helpful to you — in understanding the challenges and what should be done to put the Chi- na-U.S. relationship back on the road to progress. Indeed, our many speakers and panelists have pointed out what should be done. If I were to summarize the thoughts expressed in these three days, I’d say: Return to the dialogue table. Restore respect and trust. Allow competition and cooperation to coexist. Think about the developing countries and low-income people that need help.
