Bulls in the China Shop is an engagingly anecdotal, lucidly written account of the tragicomic cultural and political misadventures that have plagues American commercial ventures over the past two decades in the People’s Republic of China. When diplomatic tensions between the two countries were eased in the 1970s, American businesses rushed to China, lured by the world’s largest national market. As they tried to introduce capitalism to China’s socialist society they soon discovered that the rules of business, as they understood them, did not apply. Chinese buyers placed huge orders for which they had no money to pay: Chinese marketing bore no relation to capitalist exigencies—playing cards were named “Maxipuke” (pu-ke: poker), designer men’s underwear, “Pansy”; million-dollar projects already underway were cancelled without warning. The Chinese, in turn, were astonished by the indiscretion of the Americans, who prized “directness” above all in negotiations and were at once brash and guileless in exposing weaknesses in their own bargaining positions. Like Mark Twain’s innocents, Americans were woefully ignorant of Chinese etiquette, and prone to embarrassing gaffes. And more: the Chinese found the American insistence on lengthy, detailed contracts fatuous, if not insulting. Bulls in the China Shop is a fascinating look at the uneasy commerce between American and China—between capitalism and socialism—and at the cultural, political, and historical significance of trade between the two nations.

Bulls in a China Shop, a fiction/noir novelette and collection of photography by Jay Miner. States Haze McElhenney of Fountain Hill Studios, "...a nightmare world that curdles and expands from Buffalo, NY out and beyond the desolate, depleted, and desperate landscape of the Mojave that in the end lays bare every illusion and leaves your imagination naked, bleeding, and sober." Matt Borczon, Author of A Clock of Human Bones from Yellow Chair Press has said "...one of the most exciting reads of my whole life...drug fueled and vivid...into a world we all want to know about but are too afraid to ask...writes like a bull rider rides if the bull was on methamphetamines and lit on fire... the story has a poetic drive that makes it into something completely unique...photos enhance the overall cinematic feeling. I spent two years working as a prison nurse and every once in a while they would need to 302 in inmate to Torrance, California. These individuals were always psychotic and extremely out of touch with reality. I used to wonder what the world looked like inside their heads, well Miner knows and he has written it down for us. This is truly one of the best stories I have read all year."
