Chinese Business and the Asian Crisis: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Chinese Business and the Asian Crisis" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This title was first published in 2000: The Asian financial crisis and its aftermath provide a crucible in which Chinese diaspora capitalism has been tested, and a prism through which its strengths and weaknesses may be seen in a different light. The papers collected in this volume are in many ways still tentative. Some represent work-in-progress reports on as yet uncompleted research. In other cases, outcomes explored are still unclear or have not even yet fully unfolded. The aim is to focus on the consquences for diaspora Chinese capitalists and to start trying to identify losers and winners in the new landscape, re-evaluating their business culture, strategies and modes of operation, and their likely future direction and potential. The book begins by setting the scene for the Asian crisis and the achievements of the Asian miracle. It then goes on to examine the causes of the financial crash, the firms that were able to ride the crisis, the Taiwanese economy as a whole, the fortunes of diaspora ventures in China, the small and medium enterprises at the heart of Chinese diaspora capitalism, the impact of the crisis on large Chinese business groups, and finally, the book debunks the theory that the rise of East Asia was initiated by Japan.

From Crisis to Recovery
In January 1997 Hanbo Steel, a large Korean chaebol, collapsed under $6 billion in debts. In mid May, Thailands baht currency was hit by a massive attack by speculators. Thereafter the crisis deepened and spread rapidly throughout the region. A panic flight of short-term capital revealed and also induced a mountain of bad debts, bringing currencies and economic activity crashing down. By the end of 1998, there was still no evidence of sustained recovery and it seemed clear that IMF rescue regimes had failed or made the situation worse. What had started as a financial and currency crisis had devastated the real economy of the region, as the costs of imported food and necessary inputs for production and of debt servicing and repayment soared and as new credit for productive activities dried up or became phenomenally expensive (Krugman, 1998; Sachs, 1997). Poverty and unemployment increased rapidly, and in that year throughout East and Southeast Asia, only China and Taiwan and (barely) Singapore avoided negative growth (
