Book review: How the Internet is shaping China

The impact of Web 2.0 has been much more profound in China than in any other country. The levels of connectivity and collaboration among Chinese netizens have been staggering. This mobilization of public opinion has created a new social order in China, and is generating a level of political transparency and institutional reform that China has thus far avoided. In other words, the era of China 2.0 has dawned.

China 2.0: The Transformation of an Emerging Superpower maps the ways in which China is being changed socially, politically, technologically and economically.

It is a showcase of business transformations the whole world is trying to understand - the paradigmatic shift to conducting business in an environment of increasing globalization, open information, mobilization of public opinion and large-scale social networking. More importantly, the book provides provocative ideas for readers to consider regarding the revolution that China is going through and how they might capitalize on the multitude of opportunities it is creating.
