This page lists our editors’ picks of new China books, defined as any English-language book on or from China or the Sinophone world that was published in recent years, and which we see as having special value that adds to the conversation. We update this list when a “New China Books,” “Translated Chinese Literature” or “What China’s Reading” 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.
