If this at times surprised the Chinese- which it did- both the idiosyncrasies of the company and the impressions of China itself provided rich material for the kind of perceptive, witty writing at which the writer excels. One hesitates, in a Chinese context, to describe the book as \"sweet sour\", but there could be worse descriptions: good-humouredly observant on the foibles of his fellow countrymen, on the Chinese future he is often disquietingly apprehensive. The text is stylishly complemented by Patrick Procktor's black and white illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goldsboro Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47263827624230,"sku":"9780859550987","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/4900\/5606\/files\/28e74e0d-9210-431d-9905-28bfb6ede346.jpg?v=1701086374","url":"https:\/\/goldsborobooks.pro\/products\/sailing-through-china","provider":"Goldsboro Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
