Os chineses nos intrigam. O regime é comunista, mas a economia é capitalista. Eles ficaram enclausurados durante os quase trinta anos de governo de Mao Tsé-Tung e agora viajam pelo mundo todo e são os maiores usuários de internet do planeta. Quem são, afinal, esses 1,3 bilhão de chineses? Por que a relação do país com o Ocidente—e com os vizinhos—mudou tanto ao longo do tempo? Como esse país milenar, responsável por invenções importantíssimas para a humanidade como o papel e a bússola, pode ser acusado de copiar tecnologias estrangeiras?

Эпоха Тан стала "золотым веком" Китая, когда живопись, поэзия, наука, экономика достигли своего наивысшего расцвета, когда прославилось знаменитое чайное искусство и распространилось множество разных нововведений — от первых механических часов до фейерверков. Благодаря кому в Китай пришел буддизм? Кто удостоился титула "небесного хана"? Является ли святой даос Лао-цзы предком основателя династии?

Sun Tzu’s Art of War has been read mostly as a book of war strategies that teaches us how to beat our opponents on the battlefield. The Modern Art of War presents a new interpretation: it isn't about conquering your enemies, devising strategies to overtake armies or getting ahead against your competitors. Instead, the real art of war is the fight to control your mind and the thoughts that rule it.
