China Buys the World

Focusing on China's overseas expansion, the book examines the billions spent on acquiring foreign companies and assets, analyzing the balance between state control and private firm activity. Collier suggests that while key acquisitions may remain under state influence, many will involve smaller private enterprises. He highlights the potential impact of rising debt on capital access and explores the complex interplay between state intervention and private business. This insightful analysis is essential for executives, journalists, and policymakers navigating China's global investments.
