Gordon G. Chang is a lawyer and author, best known for his book The Coming Collapse of China (2001) ISBN 978-0812977561 in which he argued that the hidden non-performing loans of the "Big Four" Chinese State banks would likely bring down China's financial system and its communist government and China would collapse in 2006. In Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On the World (2006) ISBN 978-0091799700 Chang suggests that North Korea is most likely to target Japan, not South Korea. Chang suggests that North Korean nuclear ambitions could be forestalled if there was concerted multi-national diplomacy, with some "limits to patience" backed up by threat of an all-out Korean war.

Chang graduated from Cornell University in 1973, where he was a member of the Quill and Dagger society, and the Cornell Law School in 1976.

He is a regular contributor to the John Batchelor Show, the Glenn Beck Program on Fox News and CNN and also appeared as a special guest on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on July 17, 2006. On 3 Feb 2010, he appeared on Al Jazeera English and argued that China does not have a lot of economic leverage over the US, it is actually the other way around.
