Exit le made in China à bas prix. Longtemps qualifiée d’usine du monde, la Chine veut désormais s’imposer comme leader mondial des hautes technologies. En France, ses investisseurs cherchent de plus en plus à s’emparer de fleurons sur des secteurs de pointe et jettent leur dévolu sur des marques emblématiques comme Club Med, Lanvin ou encore Baccarat, qui toutes battent pavillon chinois. Un « essor » chinois qui rime aussi avec lobbying politique, espionnage industriel et transfert de technologie imposé. Pour ce pays, converti au capitalisme mais toujours gouverné par son incontournable parti communiste et dont le président entend « ressusciter le rêve chinois », intérêts économiques et géostratégiques ne sont jamais éloignés. En s’appuyant sur une enquête rigoureuse et de nombreux entretiens, les auteurs montrent le nouveau dilemme de la France face à la puissance économique chinoise. Une France tiraillée entre la volonté d’attirer ces nouveaux investisseurs et celle de protéger des savoir-faire stratégiques.

Klaus Mühlhahn situates modern China in the nation's long, dynamic tradition of overcoming adversity and weakness through creative adaptation--a legacy of crisis and recovery that is apparent today in China's triumphs but also in its most worrisome trends. Mühlhahn's panoramic survey rewrites the history of modern China for a new generation.-- "It is tempting to attribute China's recent ascendance to changes in political leadership and economic policy. Making China Modern teaches otherwise. Moving beyond the standard framework of Cold War competition and national resurgence, Klaus Mühlhahn situates twenty-first-century China in the nation's long history of creative adaptation. In the mid-eighteenth century, when the Qing Empire reached the height of its power, China dominated a third of the world's population and managed its largest economy. But as the Opium Wars threatened the nation's sovereignty from without and the Taiping Rebellion ripped apart its social fabric from within, China found itself verging on free fall. A network of family relations, economic interdependence, institutional innovation, and structures of governance allowed citizens to regain their footing in a convulsing world. In China's drive to reclaim regional centrality, its leaders looked outward as well as inward, at industrial developments and international markets offering new ways to thrive. This dynamic legacy of overcoming adversity and weakness is apparent today in China's triumphs--but also in its most worrisome trends. Telling a story of crisis and recovery, Making China Modern explores the versatility and resourcefulness that matters most to China's survival, and to its future possibilities." -- Publisher's description
