In 1950 the British government accorded diplomatic recognition to
the newly founded People's Republic of China. But it took 22 years
for Britain to establish full diplomatic relations with China. How
far was Britain's China policy a failure until 1972? This book
argues that Britain and China were involved in the 'everyday Cold
War', or a continuous process of contestation and cooperation that
allowed them to 'normalize' their confrontation in the absence of
full diplomatic relations. From Vietnam and Taiwan to the mainland
and Hong Kong, China's 'everyday Cold War' against Britain was
marked by diplomatic ritual, propaganda rhetoric and symbolic
gestures. Rather than pursuing a failed policy of 'appeasement',
British decision-makers and diplomats regarded engagement or
negotiation with China as the best way of fighting the 'everyday
Cold War'. Based on extensive British and Chinese archival sources,
this book examines not only the high politics of Anglo-Chinese
relations, but also how the British diplomats experienced the Cold
War at the local level.
