That's the modus operandi of China Uncensored.

I am looking forward to your feedback.
The Trouble With China would be invaluable reading for the administration of President Joe Biden. They would know in advance of the defensive attitude of government officials as well as the population as a whole which leads to the forceful response along the lines of "what about this problem of yours?" Presenting facts about mistakes / misdeeds can cause loss of face which could lead to refusal to listen and even storming away. To avoid such theatrics and to make the meetings productive, it is best to swallow one's pride, then ask for help in solving a problem. That and praise enables the negotiator to circumvent the dysfunctional elements of the culture which would ensure that no progress is made and even remains stuck in reverse gear.

This year, there should be feedback and reviews from two individuals I am looking forward to:Jan Wong - I am reading her book, Red China Blues.
Lord Chris Patten - the last British governor of Hong Kong.
For example, Morgan Freeman.
On dit que la méchanceté en Chine est le résultat de ce qu’il a commencé, et je la crois aussi. Pour pouvoir être plus fort de ces rivaux imaginaires, il a transformé le pays vers une nation dans laquelle les citoyens sont souvent leurs propres adversaires et les dommages psychologiques sont encore là.

While he awaits Trump to concede that he didn't win a second term, I would like to correct Joe Biden regarding China. I know that the approach attempting to make China "stick to international rules" is guaranteed to fail. There are ways and means to dealing with that culture which can circumvent the flaws.
As Amazon tends to often move at a metaphorical snail's pace, directly from the publisher is worth being tempted by: https://books.friesenpress.com/store/...
As it is possible to self-publish via kindle, I am now drafting a French translation. Thereafter, I will also draft a German translation.
Feel free to either comment or ask any follow up questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ccgx...
Maybe, or maybe not. Both Trump and Biden accuse each other of being metaphorically in bed with the PRC.
Whatever the result on Tuesday, the prospects for US-PRC relations will long remain an open question.
Yes, best avoided. What was surprising was when someone else would bring the subject up.
Most impressive and unique. It's also a reminder of a rule that many teachers I knew in Shanghai and Wuxi had: Never start a conversation about the "3 T"s: Tibet, Taiwan, and Tiananmen.
The photographer of the most famous image ever taken in China ("Tank Man") is unsure about reviewing my book because, "I actually try to forget the whole Tiananmen experience."
Robert, accurate about Deng Xiaoping. His successors have used extreme nationalism to gloss over their contradictions to his words about tyrant behaviour. Furthermore, ShawnLeeZX expanded well on nationalism and the psychology of Chinese citizens. Your observations and being in HK combine well with my personal experiences. Having started teaching in the mainland 2 years after the handover, the bitterness about the Opium Wars was omnipresent.
Nationalism seemed to be frequently unbalanced, as many were personally blamed for atrocities committed decades or centuries earlier by the same nation: Myself for the Opium Wars, and Japanese students for the Nanjing massacre.
Joe Biden stating that China should "stick to international rules" is guaranteed to fail. The PRC government would shrill about "Imperialism" with which most of the population would agree. In this particular case the domestic population would do something rare: They wouldn't ignore the government. He could really do with reading The Trouble With China.
That is a familiar subject. Countless times, children used to shout "Laowai!" close to me. There would often be pointing.
