For ancient history, The History of Imperial China, the six-volume series edited by Timothy Brook, is excellent. The Keay book was massively disappointing, IMO.
For modern history, you can't go wrong with In Search of Modern China by Jonathan Spence.
I have yet to find any solid history on the 21st century, most likely as anything covering the last twenty years falls more under "current events". But it is still disappointing as there are about half-a-dozen biographies of Putin covering his rise yet seemingly no biographies Xi Jinping.
