Introduction

I apologize for the robot sound last night. I hope it made sense anyway. We'll see if he's right. So we're starting our China book, a tiny little China book,. Little China guy, little tiny China guy today, little fun little tiny China man. A little Mars a pan called the China boom. The author is not down with the thesis that the Chinese are representing some alternative to the global capitalist order or some inheritor of it. He lays out in the intro that the thesis of the book will be that China is one capitalist state among the other capitalist states in the world system.
