Anyone wanting a primer on the secret of China's economicsuccess need look no further than China Development Bank(CDB)--which has displaced the World Bank as the world'sbiggest development bank, lending billions to countries around theglobe to further Chinese policy goals.

The bank isat the center of the country's efforts to build a world-classnetwork of highways, railroads, and power grids, pioneering alending scheme to local governments that threatens to spawntrillions of yuan in bad loans. It is doling out credit lines bythe billions to Chinese solar and wind power makers, threatening tobury global competitors with a flood of cheap products. Another $45billion in credit has been given to the country's two biggesttelecom equipment makers who are using the money to win contractsaround the globe, helping fulfill the goal of China's leaders forits leading companies to "go global."
Bringing the story of China Development Bank to life bycrisscrossing China to investigate the quality of its loans,China's Superbank travels the globe, from Africa,where its China-Africa fund is displacing Western lenders in abattle for influence, to the oil fields of Venezuela.
