Many thanks to the person who shared that you can ask your local Chinese embassy for a copy of „The Governance Of China“.

I reached out to the Chinese embassy in Vienna and got not only a super friendly response, but also an invite to the embassy + 6 copies of the German translation (2x II, III, IV)!

You are so nice, it's not a problem at all.

I am just frustrated honestly, that because of the monopoly this shop has over shipping here (and therefore the reason I got that gift card to this shop for my bday) they can charge basically anything for these books. I payed like ~150$ for them, which is astronomical for the wages people earn here (I live in the poorest county).

I had to choose between Parenti books and Xi's works and because the Parenti books were available to me atm in ebook formats, I went with the other. This year however I have a feeling I might go for the Parenti books, but maybe from elsewhere.

I hope you like your new treasure and will end up reading all his works.
