Thanks for the list ! I was a big fan of Peter Hessler for my "night reading" Some others i liked : For buyers : Doing Business in China (Third Edition) (London: Routledge, 2008) (with Tim Ambler & Morgen Witzel) Very insightful stuff and not just like every other book. My professor was a co-author in it . Otherwise, i never would have picked it up. For LAW /Politics and/or higher education : Contract Law in China, Bing Ling Hong Kong, Sweet and Maxwell Asia, 2002 All great books ! Thanks for the list !
