Recently, a group of young mainland Chinese writers released a set of essays in a book called The China That Can Say No. Though scholars give little weight to this poorly written and extremely one-sided text, the first printing of 50,000 copies sold out in a month, and leaders in Beijing have recommended the book. It has attracted attention in the Taiwan and Hong Kong media and among China-watchers.
前不久，中國大陸幾個三十出頭的年輕作家，出了一本文字粗糙、論述偏激的雜文集《中國可以說不》，被學術界認為不值一哂，卻在短期間五萬本銷售一空，並且受到北京政界某些人士的推崇，也引起台港媒體，以及國際研究中國現勢學者的注意。
