After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first
space walk the year before last, you'd think China would be happy. _____. That, at least, is the opinion of a
new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
China Is Not Happy was published in March,2009.It is a fol low-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No,
a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West and the US in particular, on China. Thirteen years
later, the authors of China Is Not. Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world
today.
They argue that China needs to use its growing power and eco nomic resources to build its own position
of preeminence (卓越). "From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this
world." the book says.
The authors single out the US for special scorn (轻蔑)."The economic problem has shown the Chinese
people that America does have problems, that what we've been saying is right," said one of the authors.
The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. Yet much of the response to the book has
been negative. Several re- views in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical (激进的) opinions. The
book is a way to" fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the
China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (爱国
主义),but there is a limit.
In her blog she wrote,"If we are to bully (欺负) other countries, take the world's resources and try to lead
it, we're going over the top."
