With the meteoric rise of China over the past decades comes an increase in the number of people who are drawn to the Middle Kingdom for travel and business, along with a corresponding surge in guidebooks on Chinese culture and business etiquette. But such books only brush the surface.

Author Gary Moreau discovered the hard way that being an effective businessperson in China takes more than just learning what to expect and how to react in different situations. He realized he had to understand not just how our cultures differ but why they differ.

In Understanding China, Moreau offers a fascinating exploration of why the Chinese exhibit different beliefs and behaviors, beginning by comparing the Chinese and Western worldviews as they evolved from the foundational influences of Confucius and Aristotle, respectively.

Based on his personal experiences and observations from living and working in Beijing since 2007, the book discusses the significance of the Chinese worldview in the business climate, living environment, and politics of China.

Whether your interest is in travel, living abroad, business, or gaining insight into one of the most important players on the world stage today, this engaging book delivers deeper understanding of this captivating culture.
