AB  - "This is a study of China from the 1800s to the dawn of the twenty-first century. It focuses on China's problems of development - the decay and collapse of the Chinese empire, its failure to recover in the first half of the twentieth century, and its emergence in world affairs since the Communist revolution of 1949. This new edition examines China's rapid economic growth at the end of the twentieth century as well as recent developments in Chinese foreign policy, and provides a revised account of the Tiananmen Square incident. It also includes a fully updated chronology and further reading section. As such, it will prove indispensable reading to a new generation of students of Chinese and Asian history, as well as to the general reader."--Jacket.
