The Dragon and the Eagle: China and America: Growing Together, Worlds Apart

by Denis Waitley

Written side-by-side in English and Chinese, The Dragon and The Eagle is a provocative allegory featuring imagined conversations between two world superpowers: China and America. From the new global economy to philosophical, cultural and ethical issues, every chapter illuminates the critical concerns confronting China and America today and their respective visions for the future. This fictional narrative shows how East and West can - and must - work together to survive and thrive in today's international marketplace. The Eagle, perched on a mountaintop in the West, notices a huge shape looming in the East, and flies over for a closer look. It turns out to be a potential enemy, The Dragon, who invites The Eagle to join him, thus triggering frank discussions about business, philosophy, ethics, culture, and education. It turns out that despite their many differences, these perceived enemies share much in common.
