How have Westerners seen the People's Republic of China over the
years? The question raises many important issues, which this book
aims to present, analyze and explain. The basic conclusion is that
Western perspectives are somewhat more complex than simply viewing
China's realities. Involved also are politics and power relations,
trends in journalism and scholarship, as well as individual and
group personalities and psychologies.Based on extensive personal
experiences in China dating back to 1964 and wide-ranging travel in
Tibet and ethnic regions since the 1980s, the author attempts to
distinguish trends in different Western countries. However, most of
the material will concern the United States, which has been the
dominant contributor to Western perspectives during the whole
period of concern to this book.The perspectives are taken up by
topic, including politics, economy, society, and ethnic minorities.
Inherent in each topic is the way cultures see and react towards
each other. Images and perspectives can affect policy, and have
done so many times in the past, which adds to the importance of
this book. It also takes up questions of the sources of Western
perspectives, both in terms of direct sources, such as newspapers,
television or the internet, and deeper ones, such as social values
and temperament.
