This book provides an in-depth analysis of the relations between
China and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1949 to 1989.
These relations were characterized by some "ups" but many more
"downs," e.g. when, in the early 1960s, the Soviet Union ordered
its vassal state in East Berlin to begin treating its former
socialist comrade and brother-in-arms as an adversary and indeed
enemy. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, especially from
the archive of the GDR's ruling party, this book examines selected
issues and elements of East German and Chinese domestic and foreign
policy. In order to better grasp the nature and the historical
context of the bilateral relationship, it offers detailed insights
into the following aspects: 1. the bilateral "honeymoon period"
from 1949 to the late 1950s, which was accompanied by the two
parties supporting and applauding each other's oppressive domestic
and ill-fated economic policies, including Mao's Great Leap Forward
and the Cultural Revolution; 2. relations during the 1960s, when
the "Sino-Soviet Split" defined the quality and level of bilateral
animosities; 3. the 1970s, when Beijing replaced socialist
comradeship with East Berlin with trade and aid from the US and
West Germany; and 4. the resumption of Sino-East German relations
in the 1980s and the subsequent period up to the Tiananmen Square
protests and the collapse of the GDR in 1989. The book will appeal
to historians, political scientists and scholars of international
relations, as well as policymakers, diplomats, and others with an
interest in this previously under-researched area.
