Asien Buldrer - Jan Lund & Jørgen Ø. Møller
- In danish. First published in 2007.
In China and Japan, the trains are being replaced one by one, with magnetic levitation ones, levitating over the tracks, while in Denmark we are waiting on the quays as the tracks are getting deteriorated. It is only a question of time before Asia's standards of living, will overtake the North Europeans' ones. Right in this overwhelming development, seats Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller, a well experienced diplomat, who left Europe to live in Singapore with his Vietnamese wife. In the book, the Asia's journalist Jan Lund leads us into the boosting Asian society, and shows us where things are moving, while Ørstøm gives us the answers about where Asians are coming from and are heading to - and how can Denmark avoid being left on the quays.
-> My main interest in reading this book was for me to see China through a Danish prism, where the difference in size and culture of the 2 countries can almost not be any bigger, and to assess where Danish's answers to the Globalization lie.
