"Cuts through the cacophony of information, misinformation, and nonsense on China that circulates in our modern world to give us reliable answers to crucial questions... Should be on the shelf of anyone seeking to understand this fast-rising superpower."
--Ian Johnson, author of The Souls of China
--Publishers Weekly "Provides a more nuanced and accessible perspective on the issues China is facing."
--South China Morning Post "Erudite yet accessible... The topical reach is impressive."
--Jeffrey Wasserstrom, author of China in the 21st Century
