Contents:
Even a beast like a thousand-pound ox must lower its head to drink -- A tree may grow to a thousand feet, but the leaves still return to their roots -- When the horse has reached the edge of the cliff, it'
s
too late to draw on the reins -- Up in the sky there is paradise, but down on the Earth we have Hangzhou -- The first
Chinese

Chinese
rule: the long-divided shall unite, the long-united shall divide -- Learn from the past, seek truth from facts -- The flowers on a liverwort may be as small as a grain of rice, but they still want to blossom like a peony -- The third
Chinese
rule: the art of war is of vital importance for the state and should on no account be neglected -- When Master Jiang hangs out his hook, it'
s
the willing fish that gets caught -- Kill with borrowed knife -- The fourth

Summary:
"In the twenty-first century, the world has tilted eastwards.
China
grows confident while the West seems mired in doubt. Having worked in
China
for two decades, Tim Clissold explains the secrets that Westerners can use to navigate through its cultural and political maze. Picking up where he left off in his ealier memoir, Mr.
China
, the author chronicles his most recent exploits, with assorted
Chinese
bureaucrats, factory owners, and local characters building a climate change business in
China
. Of course, all does not go as planned as he finds himself caught between the world'
s
largest carbon emitter and the world'
s
richest man. Entertaining and enlightening anecdotes of the absurdities, gaffes, and mysteries he encountered. Surreal scenes of cultural confusion and smart myth-busting insights and practical
lessons
Westerns can use to succeed in
China
. Exploring key episodes in that nation'
s
long political, military, and cultural history, Clissold outlines
five
Chinese
Rules
, which anyone can deploy in on-the-ground situations with modern
Chinese
counterparts. These
Chinese
rules
will enable foreigners not only to cooperate with
China
but also to compete with it on its own terms"--Provided by publisher.
