This up-to-date textbook reviews China's foreign policy goals since the PRC's active reemergence in world affairs following the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1969. Drawing on original sources and firsthand experience, as well as on a broad academic background, Dr. Choudhury examines China's global policy, diplomatic options, and strategy in the context of the triangular relationship of Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. His discussion-offering numerous unexpected insights-covers China's quest for security, the breakthrough in China-U.S. relations, the course of Sino-Soviet rivalry (particularly in the Asia-Pacific region), the PRC's role in the United Nations since 1971, how China has championed Third World countries, and the new, dynamic elements in post-Mao Chinese foreign policy. The book is current through the summer of 1981. > This up-to-date textbook reviews China's foreign policy goals since the PRC's active reemergence in world affairs following the Cultural Revolution of 1966d
