It was an amazing experience. The evolution of journalistic access within the once impenetrable walls of China, the trials and tribulations faced by those tasked with covering this mysterious land, and how over the years- the job and its challenges, moved with the time Right up until the time we are living through. Indeed fascinating. To me, it also gave interesting insight on how the profession has evolved. `A truly enjoyable read for anyone who's interested in world affairs and history. Strongly recommended.
