When China awakes," Napoleon is said to have warned, "the world will shake." China is awake and the entire world feels the effect. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2025. A communist polity with a distinctly capitalist economy, China is the perfect case study for public policy students. Where better to study it that from within, in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong? And how better to study it than with experts in China able to give insights and experiences unavailable from outside? This will be an education experience of a life-time in a nation in active transformation from isolated autarky to global leadership.
