In this book, three superb thinkers discuss the past, the present and the future of China. They are Mr. Zhao, with fame as "China's Image Master" and "China's PR Leader," Mr. Naisbitt, a famous futurist in the United States and author of the super bestseller Megatrends, and his wife, Doris Naisbitt, a sharp-eyed observer and quick-witted thinker with the quality of a German-speaking philosopher. When the three eloquent dialogists, with forceful powers of voice and different cultural backgrounds, have an open-minded exchange of views on China's developmental model and the future of the world as well as other hot topics, there must be a clash of opinions and hence sparks of ideas.Their dialogue covers politics, economy,society, and culture, and the issues stem mostly from questions currently in the public mind, such as: "What does the rapid rise of China mean to the world?" "Why does the West always like to impose its own values on other countries?" "Does the success of the Chinese economy really make Westerners jealous and fearful?""What is the essential difference between the Western horizontal democracy and the Chinese vertical democracy?" The Oriental and Occidental representatives, with their different cultural backgrounds and values,have given their own answers to these questions. There are often conflicts of views and ideas, as well as many differences in their ways of expression.Even their humor is unique and marked with their own features. All this has made the five rounds of the witty dialogue more colorful, interesting, and attractive.
