I would recommend the one I am currently reading to anyone regarding of your politics or thoughts about China. For that matter, I would describe it as a good "China" book to start with for the general reader. It is only about 240 pages so a fairly quick non-fiction read.
"Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future" by Dan Wang.
It doesn't fall into the "China Bad" genre-I think it just explains thing well and from a different angle than most works.
This one will end up in a prominent place on the shelf and I will likely re-read or dip into it in the future.
