'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
