This innovative book introduces China on its own terms by explaining ten key concepts that frame the way most Chinese people think about the world. Posing four questions that Westerners routinely ask about China, the authors respond using these ten Chinese key words. Not surprisingly, the answers differ in startling ways from standard Western responses. Creating a cultural cartography through both text and image, the authors provide readers with a vivid sense of what is uniquely Chinese about China.
