书籍简介：

China's rise as a global economic superpower, the success of its top companies, and its continuing domestic boom is intricately tied to China Development Bank (CDB). This less-than-transparent institution, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government, has become the financial enabler of this nation's growth and is arguably the most powerful bank in the world. While development banks have long existed to finance political projects, infrastructure, and other initiatives, nothing comes close to CDB in scope. In China's Superbank, authors Henry Sanderson and Michael Forsythe—both Bloomberg journalists working in Beijing—combine on-the-scene reporting and interviews from across the world with numbers crunched from Chinese bond prospectuses to put CDB in perspective, and help you understand the economic phenomenon that is China. Along the way, you'll not only become familiar with the growing accomplishments and influence of CDB, but you'll also gain valuable insights into the darker side of this political-financial institution—one that has never had to answer to anyone apart from its state shareholders. You'll also discover how China's seemingly unstoppable banking system could potentially be saddled with bad debt from trillions of yuan invested in projects with questionable economic value both at home and abroad. Throughout the book, the authors: Explore CDB's hallmark innovation—the system of local government finance—which has transformed China's landscape in just over a decade by pumping trillions of yuan into various domestic projects Profile Chen Yuan, the Chairman of CDB since 1998, and discuss how he's been instrumental in reasserting the Communist Party in China's economy, while managing to preserve enough independence from the government to make decent investment decisions and function as a commercially driven institution Analyze CDB's China-Africa Development Fund—China's largest private equity fund investing in Africa—and its attempts to stimulate manufacturing in Ethiopia, and CDB's lending to Ghana Address CDB's work to secure a steady flow of oil and gas to China through loans-for-energy deals around the world, particularly to Venezuela Examine CDB's lines of credit that have helped new Chinese firms in telecom and alternative energy win significant global projects, as well as how the bank is developing a new form of private equity financing through CDB Capital. As China's influence continues to grow around the world, many people are asking how far it will extend. China's Superbank addresses this vital question, looking at the institution at the heart of its growth. Praise for China's Superbank "The phenomenal economic rise of China and its growing global role have been driven by a unique mix of political and economic actors. China Development Bank has been at the center of much of this growth especially as the principal banker in China's overseas commodity investments. Henry and Michael's timely book, China's Superbank, details for the first time the role that CDB has played under the focused leadership of its Chairman Chen Yuan. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how China funds its growth but it also raises important questions as to whether CDB's strategy will be sustainable over the long term." —Fraser Howie, Managing Director, CLSA Singapore and co-author of Red Capitalism "Combining in-depth knowledge of China with hard-nosed economic analysis and first-rate journalism, Sanderson and Forsythe have written an astonishingly detailed yet lively portrait of China's muscular state capitalism. This important work tells us in concrete terms how China is expanding its influence around the world, not through military force, but through writing checks. This is a must-read for all those who take an interest in China's rising influence in the world—and its increasingly vulnerable financial system." —Victor Shih, Associate Professor, Northwestern University "In China's Superbank Henry and Michael shed a much-needed light on the operations and people behind China Development Bank, an apparent policy bank that in a brief decade has in many ways surpassed the power and functions of the country's Ministry of Finance. The tale of how this formerly moribund institution ignited China's local debt crisis while financing China's foreign policy initiatives is a must for anyone seeking to understand China's opaque financial system." —Carl Walter, former COO of JP Morgan China, independent consultant and co-author of Red Capitalism "American Cabinet members say the global reach and growth of China Development Bank keeps them up at night. After reading this book, they might not go to sleep at all. For all the tsunami of news about China's rise in recent years, the country's political and financial institutions remain vastly undereported and little understood. Mike Forsythe and Henry Sanderson's book helps correct that with remarkable detail and insights about the bank that laid the financial foundations for China's economic miracle at home, before then finding a formula to spread its money abroad." —Richard McGregor, Financial Times reporter and author of The Party

书友短评：

@ Von.Y.Erick 虽然在国开行实习了三个多月，但如果没有Henry Sanderson和Michael Forsythe的《中国的超级银行》此书，我对开行的理解仍然会非常浅显局限，如同要一个只偶尔打打篮球并不关心体育新闻的人突然去谈论NBA，他将无从开口。相信无论是国开行的员工，还是关心中国政治经济的人，都会感谢两位作者认真的努力，他们清晰深刻地勾勒出这位当世的金融巨人，并使我们知道这位资产达到七万多亿的金融巨人的成长历程、武器技能和伤病弱点。在作者看来，国家开发银行不是一个规模上大得惊人却站在一个地方不动的巨像，它确确实实对这个世界施加与它体量相当的影响，因此作者赋予本书的副标题是：债务、石油和影响——国家开发银行如何重写金融规则。 @ SIAM 金融 地缘政治 地方政府融资平台 石油 大宗商品 @ 黄岛主 西方视角下的经典论调：邪恶组织的、枉顾历史和客观规律的、作为邪恶附庸的机构终将自我毁灭！开姨可能确实要手忙脚乱一段时间了，国内贷款与土地绑定，土地市场面临下行；国际贷款与石油绑定，油价和亚非拉国家政权震荡…… @ 大禹 从华为、奇瑞的崛起到天津滨海新区到查韦斯的高支持率，中国这个新帝国崛起的过程中，都有着国家开发银行的影子。两位彭博的记者为我们解读了中国海外扩张和房价高企背后的一个人和一个银行，以及他们的影响 @ 揉碎月亮 西方视角下的经典论调：邪恶组织的、枉顾历史和客观规律的、作为邪恶附庸的机构终将自我毁灭！开姨可能确实要手忙脚乱一段时间了，国内贷款与土地绑定，土地市场面临下行；国际贷款与石油绑定，油价和亚非拉国家政权震荡…… @ peter 1，作者提供的很多材料挺informative。一些评论也是十分辛辣尖锐，sharp。2，一些解读太西方的视角了，带有对中国和国企的偏见。3，那种superbank的感觉已经是过去的历史了。
