Kerry Brown began his life in nineties China almost by chance, cutting his teeth in its northern backwaters. He went on to become a British diplomat in Beijing and then one of the world\u2019s foremost sinologists.\nSince then, the Middle Kingdom has transformed from \u2018backwater\u2019 to \u2018emergent superpower\u2019 to fanfare, scrutiny and a tidal wave of thinkpieces.\nOffering a light alternative to the bluster, the Kentish academic draws on wit, allusion and anecdotes of adventure to render the People\u2019s Republic \u2018knowable\u2019 to Western readers, and in so doing, humanise its monumental ascent.\n\nChina in Five Cities\nfrom Hohhot to Hong Kong\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nKerry Brown began his life in nineties China almost by chance, cutting his teeth in its northern backwaters;
