Series: - Brill's Humanities in China Library, Volume: 13
Author:
In The Cold War and the Origin of Diplomacy of Peopleâs Republic of China, Niu Jun offers a new analytical framework for understanding the Cold War and PRCâs diplomacy from 1949 to 1955. He sees it as an interactive historical process between the Cold War, Chinaâs domestic transition from revolution to nation-building, and the revolutionary ideology in the minds of Chinese leaders and Chinese people.
Niu Junâs analytical framework sheds fresh light on the widely studied events of PRCâs diplomacy such as Chinaâs alliance with the Soviet Union and confrontation with the U.S., military actions on the Korean Peninsula and in Indochina, settlement of the first Taiwan Strait crisis, development of nuclear weapons, and so on.
