On July 1, 1997, Great Britain officially returned Hong Kong to China after one hundred and fifty-five years of British rule. This event marked the addition of a world-class bastion of advanced capitalism to China's "socialist market economy." The reintegration of democratic Taiwan into this emerging superpower will now top the Chinese national agenda. The combination of Hong Kong's financial expertise and Taiwan's management and export prowess with China's geographic vastness and inexhaustible pool of cheap labor has, over the last ten years, enabled China to change from an impoverished, revolutionary country to a major international trading power. Can reunification really be successful - and peaceful? Willem van Kemenade analyzes the power structures of the three Chinas, offering the first clear and comprehensive view of the world's fastest-rising empire.

China
In this non-fiction book, journalist Fox Butterfield describes living in China in the early 80s. It covers his own experiences as well as life stories gathered from his Chinese friends, acquaintances, and interviewees.
Pros:
-Rich detail
-Interesting stories
-Broad range of focus that gave a feel for life at many different levels of society, different locations, different ages, etc
-The book covered personal stories from The Chinese Revolution, The Great Leap Forward, and The Cultural Revolution which broadened my understanding of China's history in the 20th century
Cons:
-This is not really the book's fault, but reading it now when the information is more than 25 years old, it's hard to know how to process the information or what to do with it (I got this book for free because it is so out-of-date)
-I wasn't completely sure how much credence to give the overall picture that Butterfield painted
-The book felt a little too long and was dragging a little by the end
