Kartu Pos Dari Tomorrow Square (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
An interesting cross-section of modern China investigating themes of censorship, technology, manufacturing, employment culture, and innovation, this book is a non-fiction account of Chinese-American relations circa 2009. I liked Fallows' ability to remain objective to both countries' strategies while evaluating pros and cons, while still maintaining an Ameri-centric voice. This book was a bit dry at times, but I appreciated the insight into modern China given its promising developments as well as challenges. Looking forward to reading more material by Fallows. Written accounts of an American journalist in China from 2006-2008. Especially interesting after reading Wild Swans and wanting more insight on current China and the aftermath of all of the events described in that book. Fallows writes with an economic/political point of view. He covers topics such as the Chinese Internet Firewall, China's investment in US Treasury Bonds, environmental issues, and entrepreneurial efforts by Chinese citizens.
