ISBN: 9781484959855 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although China's impact on our lives is rapidly growing (whether it is household goods "made in China" or Chinese companies buying our debt and investing in our economy), many in the West focus on China for a host of familiar reasons - pollution, human rights abuses, computer hacking, lead poisoning and so on - that do little to enhance our understanding of how China operates and what it is like to live there. In P.R.C - Pretty Real China, Denis Lejeune challenges Western notions of the nature of contemporary China by drawing on his experience of living in Chongqing. While tour agencies...

He ate and drank in roadside cafes in the company of inquisitive lorry drivers and shared dormitories...
