The "best books about China" is a question as broad as China itself. There are numerous sub-genres within the "China" genre of literature. Here are what are generally considered the most "popular" books of each sub-genre, as "best" is a relative term according to one's personal opinion. You also have to consider that books written about China for westeners (i.e. in English) are not as widely read amongst the Chinese, nor are books written in Chinese commonly published in the west. This list will focus primarily on books readily accessible to westerners:
