Watson, editor of Golden Arches East: McDonald's in East Asia ).

[{"$nulls":4},"Beijing? Is it possible that Aldous Huxley wrote a novel even more useful than Orwell's 1984 for making sense of post-Tiananmen China-or post-9/11 America? In these often playful, always enlightening \"tales, \" Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom poses these and other questions as he journeys from 19th-century China into the future, and from Shanghai to Chicago, St. Louis, and Budapest. He argues that simplistic views of China and Americanization found in most soundbite-driven media reports serve us poorly as we try to understand China's place in the current world order-or our own. \"Rather effortlessly brilliant... It penetrates with a lightly knowing eye and ear into the interior mind, heart and soul of giant China and the innumerable Chinese.\"- AsiaMedia \"This book provides a powerful lens for outsiders to understand a globalizing China and a unique mirror for the Chinese to reflect on their own society in a global context.\"-Yunxiang Yan, author of Private Life Under Socialism \"Readers will find themselves far more observant and attentive to local distinctions when they take their first or next trip to China.\"-Stanley Rosen, The China Journal No. 60"]
