This book was co-authored by me, although the credits for its idea definitely go to Charles. Among the large number of books introducing China that have been published in the past few years, the unique feature of this book is that it is entirely based on a cross-cultural model. This model is also frequently used in the posts of this blog and forms one of the pillars of my culture-based philosophy.
