"""Is Ralph a guy who 'almost gets it' when it comes to China? His life and work prove the point - a correspondent, an observer, a local resident, a husband, and a father, his many years of life in the Chinese world would never have been what they were without a lot of understanding and a lot of common sense. That he now can share some of his learnings means that maybe others will start to 'get it' too."" - David Schlesinger, consultant and former editor-in-chief, Reuters. ""In 50 Useful Tips On China veteran journalist Ralph Jennings utilizes his 'reductive, functionalist approach' to analyse possibly the world's most stubborn, opaque, at times infuriating yet endlessly intriguing society. Digging deep into the experience gained over two decades reporting from Greater China, Jennings, with profound personal and professional insight - and a winning humility and humour - gets to the heart of what makes China tick. This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to make sense of modern-day China and the oft misunderstood people who inhabit it."" - Chris Stowers, author of 'Bugis Nights' ""Ralph's tips on China are essential for those who try to understand the basic social and cultural norms in the country. It can serve as a guidebook for manners and etiquettes in a similar way as the Lonely Planet for tourist spots and restaurants."" - Zhou Xin, Tech Editor, South China Morning Post"
