About this listen

Writing in response to the growing anti-Chinese sentiment and alarmed by the threat of war, Dr. David Daokui Li pulls from his wealth of firsthand experience to demystify contemporary Chinese society and advocate for understanding between China and the West. In this urgently needed and fascinating book, he explains the inner workings of a rising superpower to help the world understand how it works-and how to work with it.

In Li's hands, an economic and political system that often baffles Westerners becomes coherent, sophisticated, and logical. He begins by explaining how two thousand years of history-from Confucian philosophy and ancient imperial dynasties to Communist Party chairmen from Mao to Deng Xiaoping-profoundly influence China's leadership today. Li brings the listener into high-level meetings he attended with figures including Xi Jinping, showing China's approach to governance.

In demystifying contemporary Chinese society, Li helps listeners reconceptualize contemporary China and the implications of its growth. He asserts that China's rise will be beneficial for the global order, holding out the hope that with shared understanding and mutual learning the Chinese and Western systems will eventually find a way to peacefully coexist.

Balanced perspective on China World View that western readers need to understand

Much of what Americans believe about China and how they see the world is incorrect or incomplete. This book gives an accurate account that is based on real data, and an insider’s view of the market, the government and its cultural. I’m an American that’s lived in China the last 18 years and can vouch for the authenticity of the narrative Li is painting. It’s a must-read if your work relates to China.

The spirit of this book is critically important.

I have lived and worked throughout China for nearly a decade and I’m greatly alarmed and embarrassed by the uncharitable attitude of my fellow Americans towards China. The rhetoric towards China that fills our society is nothing short of ignorant and arrogant.

This book is a refreshing and earnest appeal for reconciliation in the gracious manner which is so characteristic of these beautiful people. If you find the substance of the book difficult to wade through consider skipping to the last couple chapters and then attempting earlier chapters afterwards.

The spirit of this book is critically important in this present era of inappropriate contempt within American/Chinese dialogues which the West has seeded.

Our children and our children’s children will suffer the consequences of our aggressions if we fail to be receptive to initiatives such as this book.

Fascinating read

This book is by far the most interesting among the recent publications on the China subject. It gives an in-depth look at the inner workings of the Chinese society and governance with some unique insights that are in short supply in today’s discourses. It’s a must read for people who really wish to gain understanding beyond groupthink.
