Summary

What's Wrong with China is the widely anticipated follow-up to Paul Midler's Poorly Made in China, an expose of China manufacturing practices. Applying a wider lens in this account, he reveals many of the deep problems affecting Chinese society as a whole. Once again, Midler delivers the goods by rejecting commonly held notions, breaking down old myths, and providing fresh explanations of lesser-understood cultural phenomena.

the guardian hated it, so I knew it would be good

It's partly or largely anecdotal but serves as a good cultural steer and warning. Entertaining and well structured

Great book!

It articulates everything I've seen and experienced in China. Excellent book and extremely useful for anyone living in China, or considering doing business with the Chinese.

Not read by the author

Was really looking forward to this but couldn’t bring myself to finish it because of the voice actor
