5.0 out of 5 stars I AM A MANDARIN EXPERT, January 28, 2008

By	E. Backus "yazhou yanzhiu" (CHINA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Managing International Business in China (Hardcover)

Listen,

I'm going to level with everyone and say what should be said even though saying what people are not saying is said to be too dark and off-limits for anyone wanting to say something like that to say. The name of the author in its true mandarin (putonghua) form is tian xiao wen, not its reverse. This is a conspiracy against language itself. Without language there can be no communication. Without communication there is war. War mean nuclear war these days, what with Iran and all, this conspiracy against the author affects us all and threatens us with global nuclear genocide.

But I reccomend this book highly.
