Studies of Sino-Viet relations have traditionally focused on
Chinese aggression and Vietnamese resistance, or have assumed
out-of-date ideas about Sinicization and the tributary system. They
have limited themselves to national historical traditions, doing
little to reach beyond the border. Ming China and Vietnam, by
contrast, relies on sources and viewpoints from both sides of the
border, for a truly transnational history of Sino-Viet relations.
Kathlene Baldanza offers a detailed examination of geopolitical and
cultural relations between Ming China (1368-1644) and Dai Viet, the
state that would go on to become Vietnam. She highlights the
internal debates and external alliances that characterized their
diplomatic and military relations in the pre-modern period, showing
especially that Vietnamese patronage of East Asian classical
culture posed an ideological threat to Chinese states. Baldanza
presents an analysis of seven linked biographies of Chinese and
Vietnamese border-crossers whose lives illustrate the entangled
histories of those countries.
