"Jin doesn’t ignore China’s faults and
failings . . . she tells a nuanced story that
deserves attention at a time of extreme tension between China and
the United States.” —Peter Coy, The New York Times
“Jin avoids ideology and instead frames basic economic agents in
the same manner as any other country. As a result, English-language
readers will come away with a more informed and empathetic picture
of this still-developing country.” —Asian Review of Books
The New China Playbook offers a different perspective than many
Western policymakers do about China. —NPR
"The biggest geo-political change of the 21st century will be the
end of exclusive Western political and economic dominance. The rise
of China is at the core of this change and Keyu Jin is a brilliant
thinker to take us through its implications from the perspective of
someone who understands both China and the West. It is this
combination of insider and outsider insight which makes The New
China Playbook essential reading." —Tony Blair, former Prime
Minster of The United Kingdom
"China is running on a new playbook for innovation and
technology. As a bicultural economics expert, Professor Keyu
Jin understands this playbook, and demystifies it for the global
audience. This book is an invaluable lens to understand the
modern anatomy of China." —Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman & CEO, Sinovation
Ventures and New York Times bestselling author of AI
Superpowers
“During the 20 years of my Presidency, through the many meetings
with Xi Jinping and other Chinese leaders, I tried to understand
China. Now Keyu Jin provides a brilliant guidebook, a must read for
everyone in business and politics engaged in the global economy.”
–Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, former President of Iceland and Chair of
the Artic Circle
"A revelatory exposition of China's juggernaut economy and the rise
of its entrepreneurs. Keyu Jin provides the roadmap to
understanding the Chinese economy and places it within a global
context. This is a must-read for anyone doing business in or with
China today.” —William Ding, founder and chairman of NetEase
"The most important book on China in many years, written with
stunning eloquence and clarity. Jin does not cover the warts,
but insists on a holistic view. Anyone who want to understand
China, and how to engage with it economically and politically, will
greatly benefit from this deeply original book." —Kenneth Rogoff,
Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics, Harvard
University
“Much has been written about China, but it is rare to read an
author such as Keyu Jin, who can so naturally and seamlessly blend
two perspectives. If you are interested in a true conversation,
this is the book worth reading.” --Charles Li, former Chief
Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited
“China's economic evolution may well determine the future of the
world economy, the global environment and geopolitics. Keyu
Jin offers a bold, sound, and profoundly important view of where
the Chinese economy is going. Her view needs to be carefully
considered by all who will be affected by China, and that means
almost everyone." —Lawrence H. Summers, former United States
Secretary of the Treasury and President Emeritus of Harvard
University
