There is some debate about the origin of the phrase żbull in a china shop.ż One of the more interesting theories is: In the 17th cent., Smithfield Cattle Market was estab. in London, England. It is said that when the herdsmen drove their cattle through the streets to market, the beasts sometimes strayed into the nearby china shops. This delightful childrenżs book shows the bulls being welcomed by the shopkeepers. żOnce there was a bull named Bill who felt a certain thrilling chill each time he saw a china shop -- the teacups made his heart flip-flop.ż Weaverżs tale is charming & illustrator Raglinżs Victorian-style pictures dressed in clothing of the era (including top hats & walking sticks) bring this book to life. A rollicking rhyme that children may find just their cup of tea. Illus.

A thrilling and provocative account of unfolding tensions between China and the West, filled with the people, stories and sticky situations from Bill Birtles' five years as ABC correspondent. 'People abroad always thought things were much scarier in China than they really were. What threw me, though, was the urgency of the diplomats in Beijing. They live it, they get it. And they wanted me out.' Bill Birtles was rushed out of China in September 2020, forced to seek refuge in the Australian Embassy in Beijing while diplomats delicately negotiated his departure in an unprecedented standoff with China's government. Five days later he was on a flight back to Sydney, leaving China without any Australian foreign correspondents on the ground for the first time in decades. A journalist's perspective on this rising global power has never been more important, as Australia's relationship with China undergoes an extraordinary change that's seen the detention of a journalist Cheng Lei, Canberra's criticism of Beijing's efforts to crush Hong Kong's freedoms, as well as China's military activity in the South China Sea and its human rights violations targeting the mostly Muslim Uighur minority in Xinjiang province. Chronicling his five-year stint in China as he criss-crossed the country, Birtles reveals why the historic unravelling of China's relations with the West is perceived very differently inside the country. The Truth About China is a compelling and candid examination of China, one that takes a magnifying glass to recent events, and looks through a telescope at what is yet to come.
