China Unbound: A New World Disorder by Joanna Chiu

Really enjoyed reading this one. My only criticism and the only reason I took off a star was because i would’ve liked to see an exploration of China’s presence and relationships with countries in Africa and other regions beyond North America and Europe/Russia. I think there is a lot happening there that is very relevant in terms of trying to create a new world order.
However I really appreciated the depth of research for each chapter. I only knew the very big lines of some of the issues and events written about, so this fleshed them out better in my mind, clears things up, introduces me to many events I was not aware of, and opened up good avenues of further research and deeper reading. I also really enjoyed her writing style, and I didn’t find that the author was recycling the same information in a different way in each chapter, as in too many non-fiction books, so it was an interesting read to the end. Looking forward to reading more work by the author!
