'excellent' LSE Review of Books China is the world's most populous
country and newest superpower, whose place on the international
stage can only be understood through the lens of its modern
history. The Oxford History of Modern China is essential reading
for anyone who wants to understand this rising power in what
promises to be the 'Chinese century'. Covering the period of
dramatic shifts and surprising transformations which comprise
China's modern history, the book spans from the founding of the
Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) to the present day. It introduces readers
to important but often overlooked events in China's past, such as
the bloody Taiping Civil War (1850-1864), and also sheds new light
on more familiar landmarks in Chinese history, such as the Opium
War (1839-1842), the Boxer Uprising of 1900, the rise to power of
the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, the Tiananmen protests and
Beijing Massacre of 1989, and China's rise to economic superpower
status in the 21st century. A new chapter for this edition brings
the story into the era of Xi Jinping.
