Domenach, Jean-Luc.-: Does Adónde go China?. Paidos. 2006. 20 €

China has turned into an immense workshop. With the capitalist development, on the one hand, and the communist tradition, for other, offers the spectacle of a country that recovers the way of the progress in the middle of an incredible disorder. For ten years it accumulates successes: one has developed and consolidated inside; he has committed himself with the exterior world and realizes a more ambitious politics, especially opposite to the United States and in Far East. His successes stimulate an implicit, and indisputable exit for little, with regard to the traditional routes of the communism. Pero China is a colossus with mud feet. The interior situation keeps on being fragile and the changes of the society make her dangerous. The protests multiply in the cities and in the field, while hundred million emigrants circulate throughout the country. The leaders avoid more and more necessary debates, what makes presage serious dangers in the future. China has entered the OMC, but before receiving the Olympic Games, it must still win in ripeness and construct a relation balanced with the rest of the world.

The changes produced in China in the last decades perform such importance that they have affected deeply to the international relations, so much economic as politically.

Does it talk each other, as they support some, of a capitalist country with a communist government? Or, on the contrary: is it introducing changes that, for deep that seem, do not modify substantially the socialistic character of the system?.

Rovira Jarque. - 35 days in China. Peninsula. 1997

The trip of these two journalists leaves a quite disheartening balance. If the book can result from interesting reading for the one that does not know China, the errors and evil interpretations they happen along the book, reducing value beyond purely anecdotal.
