June Teufel Dreyer's Middle Kingdom and Empire of the Rising Sun
provides an authoritative and accessible overview of the great
civilizational rivalry between Japan and China. Dreyer sets the
context by providing a crisp account of Sino-Japanese relations
from the ninth century to the onset of the modern era. In the
aftermath of multiple wars between them, including a long and
brutal conflict in World War II, Japan developed into a major
economic power but rejected any concomitant military capabilities.
With the addition of a new epilogue, this paperback edition brings
the narrative up to the present day and focuses on trade beginning
to rise again after 2016. Dreyer focuses on the issues that
dominate China and Japan's fraught current relationship including
economic competition, resurgent nationalism, military tensions, and
globalization. For anyone interested in the political dynamics of
East Asia, this integrative history of the relationship between the
region's two giants is essential reading.
