here is what authors said in regard to book title "Unhappy China":

In talking with Wang and Song it's easy to get the feeling that it's not so much China that's unhappy and angry, but the authors themselves. The brand of nationalism they preach is still a potent force, but they seem more upset about rivalries at home than abroad. Wang cautions that the book's title is a bit of a ruse. "To be frank, those words in the title Unhappy China are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the marketplace," he says. "We didn't choose them. It was the people selling the book who chose the title, because it would sell well." If they could choose a title, Wang says it would have been China's Goals for the Next 30 Years or something similar. But who would want to read that?

TJ, I would be most interested in your comments on Chinese nationalism going forward... thanks.
