Summary
Getting Along With the Chinese was on the South China Morning Post bestsellers list for twelve months. It is now in its 9th printing. Fred Schneiter delves into the lighter side of Chinese psychology, and in doing so demystifies one of the toughest markets in the world. With an unfailing sense of humour, Schneiter offers insights for Sinophiles, Sinophobes and everyone in between.
