DNF'd here.
While not incorrect, the subtitle could have been more precise:
"China in *very specific, individual* western minds"
I guess I was hoping for the 'wider' image of China and its impact on the West, how much of a role it played in the Enlightenment e.g., and not just 'what Voltaire wrote about China'.
It's a fine book, just not what I was looking for.
