Kiina on kommunistinen, Kiinan talous on hyytynyt, kiinalaiskaupungeissa on maailman saastunein ilma, kiinalaiset ovat lyhyitä, Kiinan muuri näkyy Kuuhun, kiinalaiset ovat kohteliaita, Kiinassa on täydellinen sensuuri, kiinalainen laatu on huonoa, kiinalaiset eivät halua adoptoida tyttöjä…Kiinalaiseen juttuun on koottu yleisiä väärinkäsityksiä Kiinasta, ruuasta historiaan ja taloudesta ihmisoikeuksiin. Toimittaja Mari Manninen auttaa lukijaa näkemään Kiinaa uudessa, realistisemmassa valossa. Monet ennakkoluulot on helppo kumota, mutta usein selitykset vievät syvälle kiinalaiseen yhteiskuntaan. Jättimäisessä maassa harva asia on koskaan aivan niin tai näin.Tietämättömyydessämme olemme kuitenkin hyvässä seurassa: myös kiinalaisilla on omat myyttinsä meidän maastamme, ja suomalainen elämä näyttäytyy kiinalaisille yhtä eksoottisena kuin Kiina suomalaisille.Asiantuntijahaastatteluihin, kirjallisuuteen ja omakohtaiseen kokemukseen perustuva teos on kirjoitettu yleistajuisesti sekä valaisevia yksityiskohtia ja huomioita tarjoillen. Mari Manninen (s. 1971) on Helsingin Sanomien toimittaja, joka oli muutaman vuoden virkavapaalla Pekingissä. Sieltä hän kirjoitti Kiinan nopeasti muuttuvasta yhteiskunnasta eri lehtiin. Mannisen yhden lapsen politiikasta kertova tietokirja Yhden lapsen kansa voitti tietokirjallisuuden Finlandia-palkinnon vuonna 2016. Valinnan tehnyt Jörn Donner kuvasi kirjaa riipaisevaksi. Samana vuonna kirja sai myös Blogistanian Tieto -palkinnon.
