China Modernizes: Threat to the West or Model for the Rest? by Randall Peerenboom

I liked this book a lot, even though I didn't agree with everything. He describes the China that is trying to become a superpower, and the China that is known for it's poor record of civil and human rights. I like how he described two contrasting views, without ever really agreeing with either one. This book made me think differently about how I view China in comparison to other first, second, and third-world countries.
