La experiencia de la República Popular China en materia crediticia, para fomentar el crecimiento económico y contrarrestar los efectos recesivos de las caídas en sus ciclos económicos, es singular pues transitó de un modelo económico socialista a uno de mercado; aun así, el crédito público sigue siendo dominante mientras que el privado es secundario. El propósito de este libro es analizar la estrategia adoptada por el gobierno chino para impulsar el crecimiento de su economía, abordando la política crediticia y financiera como un todo, desde la era maoísta hasta la actualidad. La apuesta por la cooperación con otros países ha sido un factor determinante para el crecimiento; sin embargo, un estudio más detallado prueba la fragilidad de un sistema financiero de “socialismo de mercado. La publicación de este libro se realiza con motivo del quincuagésimo aniversario de las relaciones diplomáticas entre China y México.
Three decades after the birth of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, profound changes have been observed in the international economic system. Today, this intergovernmental forum faces major challenges in implementing its ambitious agenda in the areas of economic liberalization, trade facilitation and cooperation among member countries. Readers of this book will find in it a detailed diagnosis of its evolution and achievements, but also of the problems it faces in the present "crisis of multilateralism", triggered by the neo-protectionist policies of the United States. In order to achieve this objective, leading national researchers from public and private higher education institutions, most of which are members of the Mexican Consortium of APEC Study Centers, were invited to participate under the leadership of the APEC Study Center located within the University Program for Asian and African Studies (PUEAA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Asia and Africa are inserts in international financial circuits, determined by profitability. An example of this is the price of the main export products, set on the international market. Trade has been part of the economic, political and social history of both continents, whose vitality has been part of the changes in the profitability processes of capitalism and has played a fundamental role in overcoming economic and financial crises, through of various trails.
Throughout eleven chapters, this work attempts to explain the future of Asia and Africa, intertwining theoretical and empirical aspects, revealing a wide spectrum of characteristics, dynamics and consequences of the types of financing present in both continents. The work subjects productive investment to observation as a way forward, especially when profit expectations are exceeded; shows a real picture of Asian financial outflows, together with the government measures implemented in order to achieve both the growth and the economic development desired.
Compare in depth the macroeconomic and financing parameters between East Asia and Mexico; addresses the various internal problems that scourge India and China; exposes the clash between the economic potential as an exporter of raw materials and food, against the suffocating austere policies due to indebtedness on the African continent and, finally, tries to glimpse if the post-crisis strategies employed are only the prelude to new and worse crises.
