| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Over the previous four decades a steadily growing thirst for news and information from East Asia, and China in particular, has been growing around the world. People want to understand China, a country that is rising rapidly but is greatly misunderstood despite the growing numbers of people learning the Chinese language and ideas that have been popularized such as Chimerica（China+America）. Interest in China has been impeded by the Great Wall of indecipherable Chinese characters. No wonder so many people say that Chinese is “damn hard” to learn! |
