Chasing Subprime Credit: How China's Fintech Sector Is Thriving

In China, credit is booming, so is subprime credit. Instead of disrupting the banks, fintech is energizing the subprime credit sector while helping the banks.

This book explains how the major players are doing it, and why there are risks and rewards for us all.
