ACA Publishing Limited China in Five Cities: From Hohhot to Hong Kong
Kerry Brown began his life in nineties China almost by chance, cutting his teeth in its northern backwaters. He went on to become a British diplomat in Beijing and then one of the world's foremost sinologists. Since then, the Middle Kingdom has transformed from 'backwater' to 'emergent superpower' to fanfare, scrutiny and a tidal wave of thinkpieces. Offering a light alternative to the bluster, the Kentish academic draws on wit, allusion and anecdotes of adventure to render the People's Republic 'knowable' to Western readers, and in so doing, humanise its monumental ascent.

ACA Publishing Limited Xi Jinping's Adages: A Guide to the Chinese Leader's Classical Allusions
Where China's leadership and the sages of antiquity see eye-to-eye Since taking office, General Secretary Xi Jinping has promoted the 'Chinese Dream of National Rejuvenation' - a concept which neatly binds together past vitality and future prosperity. Accordingly, Xi has incorporated allusions to the classics as part of his signature style, prescribing the ideas of Confucius, Mencius, and others as cures for the vexations of modernity. From both a domestic and an international perspective this is a strikingly novel approach, well worthy of closer examination. Xi Jinping's Adages pairs 35 classical references from Xi Jinping's key speeches with expert analysis, affording the reader a fascinating perspective on the thinking of a leader who believes China's ancient past can - and should - shape its future.

ACA Publishing Limited Insights into Japanese Imperialism (Volume 2): Original Japanese military documents with English translations
Shortly after Japan's surrender in August 1945, a huge bonfire was built at the headquarters of Kwantung Kempeitai in Changchun, Northeast China. Hundreds of boxes of files were lost to the flames over the following days, but the unexpected arrival of Soviet soldiers prompted the Japanese to hastily bury some of them. These were unearthed by construction workers in 1953 and eventually handed over to archivists in the early 1980s.This is the second volume in a series based on the studies of these documents. It comprises 419 pages of inspection reports on correspondence sent by Japanese troops and others between May and December 1939. The Kempeitai ruled that many of the letters be censored or confiscated due to the sensitive nature of their content. Extracts from these letters are contained within the inspection reports, and they give us an insight into what was happening on the ground in occupied China during that period.
