Summary: Precise and accurate analysis
Comment: I'm a Chinese citizen living in the states and after reading this book for a college class, I must say this is one of those rare english books about China that have an accurate perception of Chinese outlooks from an internal perspective. It describes a number of foreign policy issues facing China as viewed by various levels from the common people to the policy-making elite, and the forces and ideas at work within each of these segments of the decision-making process.
However, note that this book is a policy book only, and seems to assume fairly thorough knowledge of historical background on the part of readers, so it would be advisable to pick up on the history before tackling this book. At least read up in depth on history from the Qing to the present, if not all on all imperial history from ancient times.
For those who have the background, the analysis in this book will be very insightful. For Americans who want to understand China, this book will provide a real meaningful glimpse into modern Chinese thinking towards the outside world that will be relevant to state relations in the future.
Highly recommended, along with other reading, of course.
