Quote: Darknight613 said: If anybody's genuinely interested in learning about China, especially their foreign policy and attitudes towards America and Europe (not to mention the rest of Asia), I'd like to recommend the following book: "The Great Wall & The Empty Fortress: China's Search For Security," by Andrew J. Nathan and Robert S. Ross. It may be a bit out of date by now, but it's still worth a read if you'd like a contextual view of what makes China tick.
