Signed the contract to publish "Blueprint for Action" in China

Won't be retiring on the advance, but we pushed until we got the right sort of contract.

Book is all translated, thanks to a team at Tsinghua U in Beijing, where I will deliver a trio of talks in a few weeks time. With everything now set, the Simplified Characters version could be out and about later this summer. Different publishing house from last time.

"New Map" went into Japanese, Chinese and Turkish.

Now "Blueprint" will have gone into both Chinese and Turkish.

So far, "Great Powers" sold only to Turkey, but I have expectations with China.

Perhaps no coincidence that my three upcoming overseas trips are China, then Turkey, then China again.

Great news, Dr. Barnett. Congratulation. I am sure there are only small portion of the Chinese people will understand your words, but they the ones matter the most.

I would like to hear of the wording tone adjustments that might have been used. That could provide insights on China's perception and perspective on the evolving transformations.
