Is "China's Golden Age of Ascendancy" Upon Us?

Chan Koonchungâ??s chilling science fiction novel The Fat Years â?? already an underground sensation in China â?? will be published in the U.S. January 2012. The book, first published in Hong Kong in 2009, is partly so chilling because it reveals a scenario that is all too plausible. Set in 2013, it takes place after a second financial crisis (euros, anyone?) that all but destroys the Anglo-American economies and ushers in â??Chinaâ??s golden age of ascendancy.â?
