The publication of an author’s work is always a big and exciting event for him or her. But there are publications that an author awaits especially eagerly. Today I received just such a publication in the mail: the book “China’s Negotiating Mindset and Strategies: Historical and Cultural Foundations” edited by renowned scholars Guy Olivier Faure and I. William Zartman (London and New York: Routledge, 2025). The book also contains a chapter written by me, “Tai Chi and Chinese Negotiation Behavior” (pp. 69-82), of which I am quite proud.
This chapter is the result of my many years of practice and reflection. I want to sincerely thank Professors Olivier Faure and William Zartman for the invitation to contribute to this important book.
