Beginning in 1998, Gutmann (a visiting fellow at Project for the New American Century) spent three years in Beijing working on television documentaries for a Chinese company. His position provided him with a discomforting insider's view of the commercial world of Chinese elites and American expatriates. In this memoir of those years he criticizes America's "engagement" with China as being guided solely by commercial concerns and worries that this has allowed China to neglect political reforms while building up its economic and military base in a process that will inevitable threaten American interests.
