"Amid the cheers at China's quickening progress toward accession, Dr Han Deqiang has sounded a lonely voice of opposition. In his book "Collision," Han highlights the negative impact of WTO on China. Fearful of increased unemployment and economic dependence on foreign companies, Han is critical of American "hegemony" and double standards. Since its publication in January this year, "Collision" has attracted increasing attention from concerned officials and academics across China. The first print run of 10,000 copies has been snapped up by bookstores nationwide where it remains the most popular title on the WTO."
