# *Stumbling Giant: The Threats to China’s Future*

Purchase Book](http://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Giant-Threats-Chinas-Future/dp/0300165420/?tag=catoinstitute-20)

*Stumbling Giant: The Threats to China's Future* addresses the challenges China will face during the coming decades and why it is unlikely to overtake the United States this century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the threats to China's continuing rise, offers bold policy prescriptions addressing those challenges, and explains why — without substantial reform — China is unlikely to replace America as the next superpower. Yale nominated the book for the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize for nonfiction. Timothy Beardson founded, majority-owned, and ran Crosby Financial Holdings, which became the largest independent investment bank in the Far East. He is a permanent resident of Hong Kong.
