Event Intro
“A deep historical and cultural study of the meaning of China’s rise… Fascinating…Convincing.” — The New York Times
"Stimulating...This book is a reminder that China’s international relations take place in a historical context going back centuries if not millennia, and Mr. French is an engaging guide through that deeper history." — The Wall Street Journal
“A look at China from the inside as well as from the outside. French knows the country well… He stresses a political history that helps illuminate territorial conflicts between China and its neighbors.” — The New Yorker
