In general, in comparison with many works devoted to this topic, this book is one of few contributions that interprets China's overall international legal practice from a holistic, insider perspective, giving a detailed analysis of important issues without limiting itself to specific legal provisions. Some of the author's views challenge longstanding views and may even change minds about China.
