Key to an understanding of many U.S. foreign policies, including
the Open Door Policy, American extraterritoriality in China, the
Stimson Doctrine, and the economic embargo against Japan, Hornbeck
had more influence on policy toward Asia than any other official in
the State Department from Wilson to FDR. In a book based on solid
research of archival materials and the current literature in
English and Chinese, Hu brings a Chinese perspective to an
examination of Hornbeck's career and American policy in Asia. The
book not only fills a vacuum in the study of Sino-American
relations, but also corrects some traditional misperceptions and
misinterpretations in the field. In Hu's view, Hornbeck has been
misinterpreted by his contemporaries and by scholars. His policy
was based on his perception of American interest in China, his
changing views on the Chinese nationalist revolution, the relative
strength of Japan, and his evaluation of the China market.
Hornbeck's major weakness was a lack of understanding of the
internal affairs of China. In illustrating Hornbeck's changing
views on China and the East Asian situation, Hu disproves many
misconceptions in current scholarship about Hornbeck being either
pro-Chinese or pro-Japanese and about his consistent support for
the Open Door Policy.
