A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Richard Bernstein studied Chinese history with John K. Fairbank at Harvard University before becoming one of the first American journalists to be stationed in the People’s Republic of China, opening the Time bureau in Beijing in 1980. Since then, in a career as a foreign correspondent for both Time and The New York Times, he has reported from more than two dozen countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. His articles and commentaries on China have appeared in the Times, The New York Review of Books, and Foreign Affairs. Among his eight previous books are several about China, past and present, including From the Center of the Earth: The Search for the Truth About China, The Coming Conflict with China (with Ross H. Munro), and Ultimate Journey: Retracing the Path of an Ancient Buddhist Monk Who Crossed Asia in Search of Enlightenment. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and son.
