Description
This survey of US-China relations begins with the first ship flying an American flag to arrive in China in 1784. It then narrates the early history of this relationship, concentrating on trade relations. Moving in chronological order, it includes chapters on the famous Open Door policy and then covers the 20th-century relationship, with emphasis on Japanese aggression in China and the US response; World War II and the Stillwell mission; and the Communist victory shortly thereafter. It then focuses on US policy towards Communist China, moving from isolation and containment to normalization and recognition. The book concludes with the Tiananmen Square incident and its effect on US-China relations.
