This is a good list -- thank you Jeff! I was lucky to be at Oxford when Rana Mitter was still the head of the Oxford China Centre. I can't quite go listen to him after breakfast anymore, but I'm glad his books are there for all of us to enjoy—a great scholar!
After the Beijing Olympics I remarked to a Chinese-American friend that China would rule the world in ten years. I was wrong, but maybe only about the timeline. Curious how I will feel after this deep dive.
