Is there a good book that covers the history of trade with China? This sounds interesting.

- douche 11y agoJonathan Spence's The Search for Modern China is fairly decent, although it is not light-weight. http://www.amazon.com/Search-Modern-China-Jonathan-Spence/dp/0393307808/ http://www.amazon.com/Search-Modern-China-Jonathan-Spence/dp...
