The theme of the book is China's relations with the non-Chinese world, not only political and economic, but cultural, social and technological as well. It seeks to show that China's history is part of everyone's history.

Each chapter discusses China's comparative place in the world, the avenues of contact between China and other civilizations, and who and what passed along these channels
