The people featured in CHINA INC. are magnificent Chinese entrepreneurs who grabbed the opportunities presented by the economic reforms of the 1980s and 1990s to change their lives as well as those of the people around them. In the process, they amassed huge personal fortunes, true, but many of them say making money was only a small part of their motivation. What matters more was realizing a common dream of enterprise building.

Thirty years after its "reform and opening up" policy was officially launched, China is now an economic and political power worldwide. But, it is this collection of single stories of individual Chinese persons that reveal what those policies made possible. Collectively, their singular tales of ingenuity and hard work will be an inspiration to millions and a roadmap to personal success for millions more both within and outside China.
