No problem senpai.

China has a fascinating history. That book itself doesn't go super in-depth but it's useful for covering a large portion of history until near contemporary era and is well written.

I'll get shit for this, but if you go on the AskHistorians subreddit the sidebar has a large list of books vetted by scholars and historians, you'll find a large list of ones on the various eras if you want to go further in a specific era or study.

"From Yao to Mao: 5000 years of Chinese history" by Kenneth J. Hammond is fantastic.

>muh /pol/, /pol/, /pol/....
Oh, fuck off. This is /his/ not /pol/, if you want to argue with them so much just go there and stay there.

I was mocking what I observed to be /pol/ tier discounting of print media with "muh books".

If you meant "my books" in the sense that you read/like those books, then carry on the good work.

Revolution and its Past by R. Schoppa is a very good book on China from 1840's-present. I highly recommend it.

I don't know any books but I recommend this pretty nice video
