The Real Story of China from a Chinese Capital Market Expert

The author of this book, Shin Hyeong-gwan, is a financial investment expert and a true expert on the Chinese economy, having served as a practical manager at leading companies and institutions.
His book, "China Different," which blends his 30 years of practical experience and local and field experience with historical knowledge, philosophy, and humanistic imagination, has been published.

Intangible concepts such as politics are sometimes expressed by comparing them to “living things.”
The expression “comprehensive art” is sometimes used somewhat vulgarly.
After reading this book, “China Different,” by author Shin Hyung-kwan, who has a long and distinguished career and achievements in the fields of economics, finance, and investment, and has won numerous awards in Korea and China, you will feel firsthand that the “Chinese economy” is a “living organism,” rather than the political and uncomfortable feelings that come with words like “anti-China” and “victory day.”


Clausewitz once said in his work “On War” that “war is an extension of politics.”
To borrow this phrase, this book proves that economics is an extension of politics, and an extension of history and philosophy.
Therefore, the topic of “Chinese economy” covered in this book can be said to be a superstructure or building built on a truly long and enormous history, society, and politics.

"China Different" is an insight into the past, present, and future of the Chinese economy, which is not only an extension of the history and politics of East Asia today, but also of the entire world, and is no exaggeration to say a "comprehensive art" of countless people and nations who are directly and indirectly intertwined with it.
This book is full of insights needed to bridge the gap between the China we knew and the China we need to know.
