When the president-elect Trump talked Taiwan's president, it stirred up storm with China. This book tries to answer the question "Can China say No?" In the last decades, Japan and some oil-rich countries cannot say "No" to the USA, but China can. China is not your Daddy's China China is not as strong as the US, but the gap has been reduced in the last 30 years, when China could not build a reliable bicycle. Chapter 2 has more on China. China lacks natural resources that she can obtain from many countries. China can get many high technologies from EU and Russia such as jet planes and agricultural products from many countries including SE Asia and Australia. At the meantime, they are developing their own products. China no longer is export-oriented. Basically it is moving to a developed country. With its huge internal market, Chinese can manufacture products cheaply due to the scale of economic. China's rise is primarily due to the USA playing China card against Russia and now the US plays India (and possibly Taiwan) card(s) against China. Let's examine some critical factors in this book. A trade war could lead to a military war. 300 years ago, the ally of 8 nations forced China to trade. When China refused, they enforced it with battle ships and cannons. When the Brits had nothing to trade, they pushed Opium and killed millions of Chinese. Today the US may use military for not trading with China. Size: 200 pages (6*9). Initial version 1/2017
