China's New Nationalism - Pride, Politics, and Diplomacy (Paperback, New Ed)

"This book admirably fills a glaring gap in our understanding of how to think intelligently about China. Grounding his insights in an extensive survey of recent American and Chinese portrayals of the other country, the author demonstrates convincingly how even specialists can feed the 'fears and fantasies' that shape and distort our respective perceptions and reinforce the stereotypes that complicate the formulation of sound policy. Remarkably, the lessons are as valuable for Chinese readers as for American, for the general public as for the foreign policy expert."--J. Stapleton Roy, former U.S. ambassador to the People's Republic of China"At the heart of the volatile Sino-American relationship is the interaction of perceptions, identities, and mass nationalism. Exploring multiple media, Peter Gries captures the caricatures, stereotypes, and mutual portrayals that demonize the 'other.' This book uncovers troubling implications about the 'inner structure' of U.S.-China relations and should be read by scholars, analysts, and policymakers alike."--David Shambaugh, George Washington University & The Brookings Institution, author of "Modernizing China's Military "Gries, in full command of the Chinese media, has given us a lively and lucid interdisciplinary study of Chinese self-perception, bringing forward images of the US that have mostly worked to complicate communications in Sino-American relations. An excellent contribution to Chinese foreign-relations studies."--Allen Whiting, University of Arizona, author of "The Chinese Calculus of Deterrence"Provides an indispensable psychological dimension to the analysis of China's relations with America-especially important today when demonizingthe other side has become commonplace on both sides of the Pacific Ocean."--Peter Van Ness, editor of "Debating Human Rights: Critical Essays from the United States and Asia
