Samenvatting	The vastness of China and the antiquity of its culture have both fascinated and troubled the West since their earliest contacts. Here Jonathan Spence sets out to explore the intricacies of western attitudes as they develop over centuries of trade, conflict and sometimes edgy co-existence. His account ranges from the travels of Marco Polo to China's modern place in the literature, diplomacy and daydreams of the West. It is a story of fantasy, wishful thinking and occasional insight that is as eloquent of our own preoccupations as it is of China itself.
