The fusion of know-how and capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan with the substantial labour resources on China has led to the emergence of a dynamic economy of 'Greater China' rivalling the USA, the European Union and Japan. What is the nature and trend of trade and investment within Greater China? What are the impacts on the world economy? With China's entry into the WTO, what are the problems and prospects of Greater China? These are some of the issues raised within Yun-Wing Sung's book.

'This is a highly reabable book about the emerging economic complex of 'Greater China.' The author... is the foremost authority on the subject matter. The book, which culminates from well over a decade of painstaking research and publication, traces the process and pattern of economic integration among the Chinese trio - the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan - over the past two decades... This book is required reading for anyone who is interested in knowing how the Chinese mainland has become increasingly integrated into the global economy,... the book is highly recommended for academia, businessmen, industrialists and bankers, as well as government officials.' - The China Quarterly
