"A Thousand Pieces of Gold: Growing Up Through China's Proverbs" by Adeline Yen Mah Bookcover

Every day, we see the headlines about China.

It feels like our current government is on a collision course with Beijing. It might behoove us to better understand how the Chinese think and act — what makes them tick.

This book offers some insight into how China conducts its business. I wish President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had time to read it. It could go a long way toward helping them better understand China and its people.
