The essays in this volume address the fundamental question concerning the causes of the many episodes of crisis and conflict in US-China relations over the last 55 years. It also probes the conditions that have made cooperation possible. As China emerges as a new power in the international system and as the US debates its leadership of that system, it is fundamental to understand the important bilateral relationship between the two countries. These essays provide a uniquely Chinese perspective on those relations.
Reviews
“In this thoughtful, informative, balanced, and well-written book, Chinese scholars provide a comprehensive analysis of US-China historical, political, and economic relations, paying special attention to how the American media have influenced interactions between the two countries. This general overview is extremely useful, largely because it puts contemporary issues in a broader and more meaningful context. . . . The book’s accessibility, the wide range of topics covered, and the wealth of information on US-China relations should make it useful to students and individuals. American policymakers would also benefit from many of Professor Davis’s insightful and pragmatic policy recommendations. . . . a timely and useful book.” – Richard J. Payne
