[close] As the author of recently published The Trouble With China, this group is to interact with readers and authors. While China has a claimed history of 5000 years and is probably the world’s oldest nation, the culture has affected modern history, as well as present-day events.

The Trouble With China informs readers how those events, and others, have influenced aspects of modern China from the point of view of ordinary citizens, including how and why. Furthermore, there is also an affiliated reference site: www.thetroublewithchina.com.
