Synopsis "Communist China and Asia: Challenge to American Policy"
""Communist China and Asia: Challenge to American Policy"" is a comprehensive analysis of the impact of China's communist regime on the political and economic landscape of Asia, and the challenges it poses to American foreign policy. Written by A. Doak Barnett, a renowned expert on Chinese politics and international relations, the book explores the historical roots of China's communist revolution, its impact on the region, and the strategies employed by the United States to contain its influence. The book traces the evolution of China's foreign policy, from its early years of isolationism to its emergence as a major player in global affairs. It examines the ideological underpinnings of Chinese communism, its impact on the Chinese society, and its relations with other communist states in the region. Barnett also delves into the complex relationship between China and the United States, from the early days of diplomatic engagement to the present day. He analyzes the various approaches taken by American policymakers towards China, including containment, engagement, and cooperation. The book offers a critical assessment of American policy towards China, arguing that the United States has failed to fully understand the complexities of China's political and economic system, and has often pursued short-term goals at the expense of long-term strategic interests. Overall, ""Communist China and Asia: Challenge to American Policy"" is a seminal work that sheds light on the complex dynamics of China's rise and its impact on the region and the world. It is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the evolving relationship between China and the United States.This is a new release of the original 1960 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
