Maria sent this article, Sold on a Stereotype:
In China, a genre of self-help books purports to tell the secrets of making money 'the Jewish way.'

Showcased in bookstores between biographies of Andrew Carnegie and the newest treatise by China's president are stacks of works built on a stereotype.

Another title teases readers with "The Legend of Jewish Wealth." A third provides a look at "Jewish People and Business: The Bible of How to Live Their Lives."

And some of the books use J P Morgan and J D Rockefeller as examples of Jewish businessmen.
