Yet detailed analysis is not what this book is all about. It is far better understood as a piece of literature designed to provoke the mainland Chinese into reflecting about themselves and their place in the world than as a textbook on international relations.
本書並不著重細節分析，與其將之視作國際關係教科書，遠不如當她是本文學作品，專為刺激中國人反省自己以及他們的世界地位而作。
