  • Drive-by comment (not a review). Neither our article nor the source linked above claims that the translations were made by the US government. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
  • The hook is ineligible because, as David Eppstein says, the cited sources do not say that the US Department of State had anything to do with the translations. I do not even see where the "various Asian languages" are mentioned in the cited sources. Another hook may be needed. The article itself may be eligible on account of its size and freshness. The article appears to cover all views of the book so neutrality is not an issue. Remind me, please, whether there is an exception to the sourcing requirement for synopses.
