本书的文章是我最近为更好地了解中国而做的努力的结果，我想告诉西方读者，如果要成功地管理与中国的关系，我们需要了解些什么。许多美国人只根据自己的世界观看待中国，以至于无法理解是什么真正驱动了中国在世界上的国家行为。我试图用"中国眼"的视角，即由内而外来看中国。其中一些文章表达了我对中国政治动态的理解。其他文章试图向美国读者解释为什么推动对中国的外交政策。第三组文章涉及美国的对华政策，试图分析该政策的实际内容和原因，并提出一些政策建议，尤其是关于人权问题的建议。我也对西方认为中国政府制度优于民主制度的观点提出批评。将这些文章放在讲中文的读者面前，对我来说是一个接触新受众的绝好机会。中西方之间的对话从来都不够，如今的对话比后毛泽东时期的任何时候都更加受限。无论我的观点是对还是错，我希望这本书的出版将成为持续对话的一个步骤，有助于增进双方的理解。 -- 黎安友Author: 【美】࿡ 著Publisher: BlurbPublished: 11/10/2022Pages: 298Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.97lbsSize: 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67dISBN: 9781034985327This title is not returnable
