Some useful background information — I can't speak to the level of bias or Orientalist-type perspectives that may be present, but appreciated the extensive use of quotations and excerpts as a way of “letting history speak for itself” instead of just summarizing. As someone generally uninterested in China (sorry? I prefer a dry heat and less jungle) and resultantly less familiar with its developments in foreign policy, this at least provided a helpful backdrop and framework against which to lay current events.
