Pick up the book Imperial China 900-1800 it does better job of describe the real meaning of tributary system than I could ever hope to achieve.
I strongly, strongly recommend this book:
F.W. Mote, Imperial China, 900-1800 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003).
It is a long book - but Chinese history really is long! Despite its length it is very readable and accessible, and about the only book out there that provides an actual narrative of Chinese history, which is what most folks want when they start out.
I want to add another one, Imperial China I'm only two hours in but it seems like an awesome book. I do have to credit /u/lukeweiss for the suggestion. I am not familiar with F.K. Motes personally so I can not vouch for his accuracy but lukeweiss seems to have a great understanding of the subject and a good attitude towards Motes.
