Is said China will, confusing there are two cases roughly? The difference in political sense, and one will about diplomacy one. When you think it based on the international sense of Western style, that China looks heterogeneous certainly are many. However, subtracting the auxiliary line that sense of history of Chinese, vanity varies.
That than the trend of the world, consider the things based on the historical lesson is often in China. When Ryotaro Shiba think about China, rather than to understand the only event in front of him, is he kept in mind to read and understand in the flow in a historic leading to the current from ancient times would also the reason why.
As a prime example of the difficulty of understanding of China, power struggle, and the like, but when viewed in the same frame of mind, political fighting scene a very strange is understandable for all of a sudden, and it is expected to get even for the future in many cases.

Shiba went to China in the heyday of four Gang and after the fall, but was told the terrible misdeeds of four Gang after you downfall.

However, rather than the problem of system, Shiba he is familiar with the history of China was trying to understand a problem in the way of civilization that has continued since ancient times rather.
Hereinafter, it continues.
