Description

Presents 12 essays by international relations historians with unique access to Chinese foreign policy documents by virtue of their having been born and raised in China and educated in the West. A central concern throughout the essays is an exploration of the untold story of China's foreign policy decision-making. Topics covered include: Sino-Korean-Soviet relations as explanatory of Chinese troops being sent into the Korean War, Mao's efforts to expand China's world role in the Taiwan Straits crises, relations between Beijing and Hanoi during the Vietnam War, cultural and educational relations as an important part of U.S.-Taiwan interaction, and U.S. support for the Nationalist air force as responsible for Communist Party suspicion of Washington.
