China’s rise is undeniable, and its impact on the world is astonishing. But, what do people actually know about this incredibly diverse and unique country?

The book covers everything from the economy to medicine, from language to cuisine, to move readers beyond stereotypes and to provide them with a systematic and comprehensive overview of the country. This guide is the one-stop-shop primer to truly engaging with Chinese culture, and it is the first step to truly understanding China.
