As what many people said, much of the information has been either published or widely speculated. However, the intending audience is not the Chinese observers or scholars. It is written as a memoir with genuine stories. If you want to have a thorough feel of the dynamic of the Chinese environment, this is a great read. The way many businesses are run especially those associated with government contracts. The way “rules” are enforced without an independent judiciary. I thought it was worth the read.
