Dear David,
    I've not read his book, but if Werner's comments about the Chinese People bother you, don't read the crap written by the two English 'Gentlemen' who invented Wade-Giles romanization of Chinese in the late 19th C.
    They made it up as they went along, the more prurient the better, and polite English people could openly read about the Dowager Empress having orgies in the Forbidden City with pseudo-Eunuchs, while Queen Victoria was actually dallying with her Scottish horsegroom, John Brown.
   Best,
      Joey
