Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book comprises a range of Chinese primary documents as well as interviews in Beijing detailing the policies, principles and methods used by Zhou Enlai to sustain his practice of diplomacy as a committed revolutionary in the pursuit of China's "independence and self-reliance". World leaders such as Stalin, Nixon, Ho Chi Minh, Nehru, Eden Mendes-France, Sihanouk and Nyerere recognized Zhou Enlai's diplomatic persona which Nixon described as a combined "elegance and toughness" and Kissinger believed that he had discovered in Zhou's mind the intuition of a European classical strategist. Zhou applied his own Chinese realism to transcend US containment, to cope with the Sino-Soviet dispute and to achieve Sino-US normalization. He laid the foundation for contemporary China's "independent foreign policy" which rejects "card-playing" in favour of national "self-reliance". The author was editor of "Energy, Security and Economic Development in East Asia".
