How much does anybody really know about China? China doesn't want anybody to know much.

It is good. I especially liked the simulation. Foreign Policies of Major Powers was also good.

Isn't the simulation Diplomacy?

If you like Diplomacy, try the Poli 500 level European Union class, you play a game of Diplomacy at the start to see who gets which countries/spots. I got to be the speaker, I had a 'foreign minister' to do all our work for us... fun class.
