The recent changes in China have been phenomenal! Not only have we have seen its rapid development in industry and technology capabilities, but its military power and foreign affairs are just awesome. Calipe Chong is not attempting to exaggerate China achievements, nor is he lauding its glory and power. It is not his intention to also show the weaknesses and malicious behavior of the Chinese. He just wants to present what it was previously, what it once went through, and what the nation is right now. Calipe's purpose is to depict facts and actual situations happening in China which are not reported adequately in the foreign countries. Between 1989 and 1996, Calipe traveled often to China for business trips. In 1997, he moved to China. Since then, Calipe traveled, worked, and lived in many Chinese cities and met many businessmen and government officials. The exchanges helped him to understand Chinese culture, behavior, and business practices. He also witnessed the drastic change in China from what the country was in 1989 to the present day. During his tenure in China, Calipe had a strong interest in learning Chinese history and culture and worked well to bridge the cultural gap between his co-workers and Chinese clients. He helped both sides to understand, appreciate, and accommodate each other's differences and expectations in order to achieve common goals. All these experiences helped Calipe to comprehend the changes he saw in China from a naive and shy country during his first arrival in 1989 to an assertive and proud nation today. The country now has more self-esteem and deals with foreigners comfortably and confidently. Patriotism in China is running high now, and the nation will not take intimidation easily from other countries! Given his multi-cultural background, Calipe maneuvered easily between his Western colleagues and clients with Chinese parties. His ability to provide clear explanations and illustrations on the expectations and behavior of both sides helped to foster better mutual understanding and less suspicion so that we could conclude deals in an amiable manner. It was during those years of facilitating negotiations, exchanges, and meetings, that he realized both sides need to understand each other more. This would help to enhance businesses, inter-relationships, and peace. This book is beneficial to those foreigners who want to conduct businesses or activities with the Chinese whether in their home countries or in China itself. It is his wish this book will enlighten Western readers with more in-depth knowledge and insights about the people and country called "China." Chinese nationals may also find this book helpful to enhance their understanding of their culture, history, and customs, from the view of an overseas Chinese person, while also catching a glimpse of how other foreigners see them.

"A clearheaded, multidimensional tour of China's political, economic, and social landscapes." — Current History "Packed with facts and figures, but enlivened with firsthand observations. . . . An excellent introduction to China for anyone in search of solid but concise information about that complicated country." — The New York Times Book Review For more than a decade, John Bryan Starr's indispensable guide has introduced uninitiated readers to the background, basic data, and issues at stake in China's crisis-ridden present and future. Now, in this thoroughly revised and expanded edition, Starr seamlessly weaves the salient events of the past ten years into the core narrative of the book. Exmaining the major new developments—among them the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Communist Party's continuing efforts to curb the influence of the Internet, and the intensifying trade disputes with the United States—Starr shows how Deng Xiaoping's successors have worked tirelessly to retain their hold on power in spite of a rapidly developing capitalist economy. Building on the strengths of the original version, the third edition of Understanding China continues to offer a smart, solid overview of Chinese history, society, culture, and politics. "This succinct and easy-to-read title removes much of the puzzlement with which many Americans regard China and the Chinese. . . . A lucid examination of Chinese character, practices, and problems." — School Library Journal "Provides substantial coverage of the relationships between China's history and the present-day system. . . . Invaluable for anyone about to engage in business in China." — MultiCultural Review

John Bryan Starr examines changes in China's politics, military history, society, culture and human rights policy. He sticks closely to the facts, avoiding theoretical interpretations that are not tethered to evidence. He identifies the fundamental problems confronting China today and then asks whether the Chinese political system is up to the task of resolving them. By the time he has finished reviewing the problems of environmental degradation, inadequate infrastructure, population growth, failed state-owned enterprises, underfinanced education and the rise in both rural and urban discontent he has no alternative but to reach a cautiously pessimistic position: that the most likely prospect for China is an eventual collapse of the party-state system, a development that he believes could be followed by the People's Liberation Army taking on a semi-praetorian role.

China is quickly proving to be an important global player. Acknowledging its inevitable growth, understanding China has become as important as ever. Over the last decade, we have witnessed Chinese businesses expand outside the country's borders and how China's influence is spreading around the globe. This might leave some wondering: Is China's success due to Deng Xiaoping's opening-up policy or is there something else that can be credited? In this book, Stefan Piech takes the reader on a journey through China's history, present, and future to answer this exact question. While Chinese society is now infused with innovation and dynamism, America has seen the foundations of its economic model shake after the 2008 financial crisis. With the global rise of China, the US is now facing a political challenge that it has never seen before. As a consequence of this, politicians and business leaders all around the world have an increased interest in understanding China. At the end of the day, it seems possible that China will replace the United States as the world's dominant power. In doing so, it will not become more western but the world will become more Chinese. Consequently, it is important for us to understand this rising power not through western terms but through its own unique history and culture. "Probably in 2035 we will pass that mantle on to China. It will be the biggest economy in the world, and it will go way past us and way past India. Given the growth, the size, the opportunities, I don't think there's any other place in the world that can match it." - David Rubenstein

In a time where the USA seems frantic to maintain their world domination by funding a crusade for democracy, it is easy to paint China as an enemy that needs to be kept in check. But is world domination the right goal? What about world peace and harmony for all people? The greatest challenges facing humanity now are global in nature, crossing countries and cultures. The world doesn’t need another religious or ideological battle such as democracy vs communism. It needs all the citizens of our world, but in particular our world leaders and advisors, to truly lead in building empathy and mutual trust, promoting cooperation over competition for the benefit of all humanity. As such, a greater understanding of China is no longer optional in our global village. It is necessary if we want to tackle global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or face critical world issues such as climate change, world peace, and collaborative governance. As China returns to its original path and reinstates itself as one of the key world leaders, it demands to be treated with respect and as an equal. China is not our enemy. Their Confucian roots are strongly grounded in building harmonious human relationships, and we in the West must build our empathy and knowledge so we can see more shades of grey in this complicated world. We all share this planet and its future destiny together, and confrontational Western thinking will only lead to war. This macroscopic view of Chinese civilization and cultural development will help Western educated readers better interpret world events through a broader and deeper understanding of: ∙ Chinese ways of thinking and behaving ∙ China’s historical trajectory and trends ∙ Current developments and the context behind and around them The authors suggest that we need to view the Chinese way as complementary instead of focusing on the differences. We should spend our energy and resources improving our world instead of minimizing others to maintain superiority. Each of us can change the world for the better. Let’s replace “us versus them” thinking with more “we” and more trust, as mutual understanding and tolerance will enable all of us as humans on Earth to live in greater harmony with each other, and with ourselves.

2013 Independent Publishers Book Awards (IPPY) Bronze Medal for Graphic Novel (Drama/Documentary), and ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards (BOTYA) 2012 Finalist in Graphic Novels (Adult Nonfiction). Post-70s Chinese artist and entrepreneur, "Liu Jing," continues his comic series of China's 5,000-year history in "Understanding China through Comics." This second volume paints a vivid picture in answer to such questions as: What are the origins of the ethnic Chinese? Are Chinese people religious? What are the major Chinese cultural heritages and how were they created? What was China like when a centralized government fell and the empire was divided among several regional states? When people talk about "China's great restoration" and China reclaiming its place as a world superpower, what are they referring to? Why is there such a strong drinking tradition at Chinese business banquets? "Understanding China through Comics Vol. 2" begins with the massive wars during China's Age of Division and continues through the end of the Tang Dynasty -- a period in which different races, religions and philosophies come together. They fight and learn from each other, sparking new ideas and creating a new culture which continues to define the Chinese today. New perspectives on Chinese history help explain complicated chains-of-events and uncover the driving forces behind the critical changes that shaped China. Research spans classic Chinese texts and contemporary historical works, including: 'Records of the Grand Historian' by Sima Qian, the father of Chinese history; 'History of China' by pre-liberation historian Wang Tongling; 'The General History of China' by his contemporary Lu Simian; 'The Analects' of Confucius; and historical information embedded in ancient Chinese paintings. "Understanding China through Comics" includes 4 volumes: Volume 1: The Yellow Emperor through the Han Dynasty (ca. 2697 BC - 220 AD) Volume 2: The Three Kingdoms through the Tang Dynasty (220 - 907) Volume 3: The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms through the Yuan Dynasty under Mongol rule (907 - 1368) Volume 4: The Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911)
