"The relations between the United States and China stand at a critical turning point on the brink of either stabilizing or deterioration, " thus asserts Alfred D. Wilhelm and David M. Lampton of the Atlantic Council in this new book. This book analyzes the often complex relationship between the U.S. and China over the past four-and-a-half decades, with particular emphasis on the past twenty years since President Nixon normalized relations with the mainland.Since 1972, the authors note, positive changes have occurred in important areas such as trade, cultural and academic exchanges, and tourism. Yet juxtaposed against the progress wrought in these areas are the contentious issues of human rights abuses, military hardware transfers, and conflicts over regional hegemony in Asia. This book offers expert analysis of the recent history of Sino-American relations and explores exactly where those relations are headed as both nations enter the 21st century.
