Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Leading authorities analyze growing tensions in US-China relations
and what this means for the future The US-China relationship is now
defined by “strategic competition.” In Cold Rivals, a
distinguished group of scholars from the United States and China
examine the reasons for this deterioration and its implications for
world politics. The two countries are now competitors locked in a
long-term rivalry, but how volatile this rivalry will become is
still to be determined. The book explores not only the historical
roots and contemporary foreign policy aspects of this era, but also
looks at the economic, military, and technological arenas of
US-China strategic competition. In doing so, this volume highlights
important differences in US and Chinese perspectives. A final
section of the volume explores future scenarios for this
relationship from a variety of perspectives, all coming to a
sobering conclusion. This policy-relevant book provides a
comprehensive overview of US-China strategic competition and
reinvigorates thinking about how to avoid reaching a crisis point.

"President Nixon's historic trip to China in February 1972 marked
the beginning of a new era in Sino-American relations. For the
first time since 1949, the two countries established high-level
official contacts and transformed their relationship from
confrontation to collaboration. Over the subsequent twenty years,
however, U.S.-China relations have experienced repeated cycles of
progress, stalemate, and crisis, with the events in Tiananmen
Square in June 1989 the most recent and disruptive example.
Paradoxically, although relations between the two countries are
vastly more extensive today than they were twenty years ago, they
remain highly fragile. In this eagerly awaited book, China expert
Harry Harding offers the first comprehensive look at Sino-American
relations from 1972 to the present. He traces the evolution of
U.S.-China relations, and assesses American policy toward Peking in
the post- Tiananmen era. Harding analyzes the changing contexts for
the Sino-American relationship, particularly the rapidly evolving
international environment, changes in American economic and
political life, and the dramatic domestic developments in both
China and Taiwan. He discusses the principal substantive issues in
U.S.-China relations, including the way in which the two countries
have addressed their differences over Taiwan and human rights, and
how they have approached the blend of common and competitive
interests in their economic and strategic relationships. He also
addresses the shifting political base for Sino-American relations
within each country, including the development of each society's
perceptions of the other, and the emergence and dissolution of
rival political coalitions supporting and opposing the
relationship. Harding concludes that a return to the Sino-American
strategic alignment of the 1970s, or even to the economic
partnership of the 1980s, is less likely in the 1990s than
continued tension or even confrontation over such issues as trade,
human rights, and the proliferation of advanced weapons. But he
also explains the importance of maintaining normal working
relations with China in order to promote security in East Asia,
protect the global environment, and encourage an open, more
realistic and stable relationship with China. Selected by Choice as
an Outstanding Book of 1992 Award winner for excellence in
publishing from the Association of American Publishers "

As we move further into a new century, the two most populous
nations on earth, China and India, continue a long and tangled
relationship. Given their contested border, their nuclear rivalry,
their competition for influence in Asia, their growing economic
relations, and their internal problems, interaction between these
two powers will deeply affect not only stability and prosperity in
the region, but also vital U.S. interests. Yet the dynamics of the
Chinese-Indian relationship are little known to Americans.
This volume brings together scholars from political science,
history, economics, international relations, and security studies
to add depth to our understanding of China-India relations.
Throughout, the contributors address three common questions: what
are the similarities and differences between the two countries'
strategic cultures, domestic circumstances, and international
environments? What are the broader international contexts for their
bilateral relations? And what parallels and tensions exist between
their national interests? U.S. policymakers, the academic
community, and the informed public require fresh thinking and
greater attention to India-China relations, as both countries
promise to be of strategic importance to the United States in the
decades ahead.
