'Chu's smart, iconoclastic portrait dismantles seven misconceptions' [NEW STATESMEN] about modern China and offers a corrective to Western assumptions. THE CHINESE ARE THE MOST HARDWORKING PEOPLE ON EARTH... so why are the younger generation derided as spoiled and lazy? CHINESE PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT POLITICAL FREEDOM... so why is the country's internet exploding with anti-regime dissent? CHINA WILL ONE DAY RULE THE WORLD... so why do the country's political leaders feel so insecure? Perhaps it is time to stop engaging in a centuries-old game of Chinese whispers in which the facts have become more and more distorted in the telling. Ben Chu examines the myths that have come to dominate our view of the world's most populous nation, forcing us to question everything we thought we knew about it. The result is a penetrating, surprising and provocative insight into China today.

The 1950s saw the hottest part of the Cold War. In the west, NATO faced off against the Soviet Bloc. In the east, the Bamboo Curtain separated Communist China from the outside world. Espionage was a crucial factor in knowing the enemy's capabilities, activities and plans. The CIA had a variety of covert operations, including the Black Bat Squadron, which conducted low-level reconaissance out of Taiwan. In 1956, twenty-two Royal Air Force National Servicement, three Air Force regulars and four Army regulars were trained as Chinese Linguises at the Joint Services School for Linguists. They were eventually stationed in Hong Kong, where they monitored Chinese military radio transmissions.This book details their training and life in Britain and later in Hong Kong where, uniquely, they could talk to the Chinese in Chinese. They lived in 'The World of Suzy Wong' in a way that other 'foreign devils' could not. It was a memorable experience and created a bond between them that, after more than half a century, is still as strong as ever.

John Ashbery’s restless, witty meditation on aging and the music of change: A must-read collection from America’s greatest modern poet The child’s game Chinese Whispers, known in America as Telephone, is an exercise in transforming the recognizable into something beautifully strange. John Ashbery’s twenty-fourth collection of poems, Chinese Whispers, re-creates in every line the accidentally transformative logic of the language game for which the book is named. In sixty-three charged and often very funny poems, Ashbery confronts the relentlessness of age and time while demonstrating, in his unmistakable, self-reflexive style, the process by which a single thought unravels, multiplies, distends, travels, and finally arrives, changed and unfamiliar. First published in 2002, shortly after Ashbery’s seventy-fifth birthday, Chinese Whispers is a collection in which fairy tales, mysteries, and magic dollhouses interleave effortlessly with the everyday of pancakes and popular culture. Ashbery’s language is absolutely recognizable from modern life as it is experienced, but at the same time is as dreamlike and disquieting as intercepted transmissions from another world.
