The story takes place on the China coast during World War II. A freighter, sailing offshore under the Panamanian flag and laden with war materiel, intercepts the stunning news of Pearl Harbor. The two young American officers, Captain Henry Budrow and Third Mate David Kopel, are shocked to find themselves in enemy waters. This is the saga of their wartime exploits: a sea battle for the cargo, their capture, the Captain's imprisonment and David's internment in Shanghai. With odds against them, they escape, plan and execute a series of fiery attacks upon Japanese military targets. It is also the story of Kate, a lovely and spirited young English girl who, torn from her reception desk at the British Embassy, is forced to live out the long war years in the internment camp. Kate and a thousand fellow Allied prisoners face their long ordeal with courage and endurance. The two men compete for Kate's affections, carry out their strikes against the Japanese with ingenuity and daring. Their final stratagem: a spy mission into Japanese waters on a Chinese junk, is thwarted by Fat Man, the second atom bomb, dropped on Nagasaki.

China has used industrial policies to try to build large corporations that can challenge those based in more advanced countries. By the late 1990s the operational mechanism of China's large firms had seen large advances. Simultaneously, a revolution has taken place in global business systems, and China's large firms are even further behind the global leaders than when they began their reforms. The WTO will require China to operate rapidly on the 'global playing field' in competition with the world's leading corporations, and this increased gap presents a deep challenge for China's business and political leaders. Peter Nolan presents here the first in-depth case studies of China's large corporations under economic reform, combined with systematic benchmarking of these firms against the world's leading corporations. The book is an unrivalled resource of information on Chinese businesses, and also leads the reader to consider the impact of China's response to its current challenges not only on China itself, but on the wider global economy.

By the early 21st century, the FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) sector had carved out a major niche in the Chinese economy and exerted a remarkable impact on the nation's economic growth, industrial restructuring and its degree of integration with the global economy. The major role of the FDI sector manifests itself in many aspects, such as serving as a source of funds, improving investment efficiency, boosting output, introducing advanced technology and research capacities, ameliorating the industrial structure, expanding exports, upgrading the export commodity mix, and promoting economic restructuring. All these are described and analysed in great detail in this book. The last few chapters of the book feature the author's prognostications of the key areas where FDI is to be solicited and the salient features of what China will do in this respect. FDI will continue its massive flow into the Chinese manufacturing industry and play an active role in turning China into a global manufacturing centre for a number of industries. The FDI inflow in the service industry will surge in a sustained fashion, thereby raising its efficiency and improving the services offered. In the last section
