China Fortunes is a 2011 novel by John D. Kuhns. The book is loosely based on his career and experiences in the United States and China. The protagonist followed throughout the book, Jack Davis, is an American financier who begins traveling to China in the 1980s. As Jack conducts business and chases wealth, he encounters the opportunities, as well as the obstacles, available to the few foreigners willing to brave the uncertainties of the PRC at the time. Tracing the beginnings of China’s industrial age and nascent capitalism, the book also takes the reader through Wall Street’s trading floors, IPOs, and multi-national hydroelectric deals.
