This page lists our editors’ and columnists’ picks of new China books, defined as any recent book on or from China or the Sinophone world that we see as having special value for readers. We update this list when a new book list column is published, with those picks populating the categories below. Please note that our selections are not intended as an authoritative judgment, merely as recommendations of titles that readers may enjoy. Blurbs are adapted from publisher copy.
