A unique perspective on China from a career diplomat and politician. George Walden specialised in China during his 20 years in the Foreign Office and was one of the few Western diplomats in China in 1964 who spoke Mandarin. In this powerful book, he shows that China's point of view is always long-term ' in 1950 Mao warned Russia that its policies would bring the collapse of Soviet communism. He argues that we compare the country to Britain or the United States at our peril. The Chinese juggernaut that has launched on to the world stage is without any precedent in human history. The only way to grasp what our future with China is going to be like for the next 30 years is to describe it on its own terms and Walden is perfectly placed to do just that.
