Romano: Americans look East now

"American media thinks that everything important happens in China," he says. "They respect Chinese culture, so they will not eroticize China."

Romano plans to bring "the big book" of his life, America the Philosophical, to Chinese audiences.

"For the shared philosophical cultures that are deeply pragmatic and committed to solving concrete and real-world problems in two countries, I think Chinese readers, like American ones, will respond positively to the detail, the color, the literary style, and even the humor in my book, while people used to a more abstract form of philosophy might not," he says.

"The book also shows that a country can be a philosophical one while being an economic power," he adds.
