Chinese Whispers by Ben Chu
Why Everything You've Heard About China is Wrong
A myth-busting examination of contemporary China that challenges sweeping Western assumptions about unstoppable growth, flawless state planning, and an imminent global takeover. Using data and on-the-ground reporting, it separates hype from reality across demographics, debt, inequality, innovation, and governance to reveal both significant strengths and deep vulnerabilities. The result is a nuanced, human-scale portrait of a complex society—neither miracle nor menace—that urges readers to question received wisdom.
