Implicit moral and cultural values became woven into policy rationales for both China and the United States. Cultural visions of modernity and understandings of identity played a critical role in each nation's evaluation of the other's intentions and in defining interests and principles in their diplomatic relationship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on American, Russian, and newly declassified Chinese sources, this book reveals rarely examined assumptions that were entrenched in mainstream policy debates on both sides, and sheds light on the origins and development of U.S.-China confrontations that continue to resonate today. Simei Qing also provides a compelling look at the vital role of deeply anchored visions in the origins of human military conflicts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simei Qing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674023447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674023444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.47w x 1.26d","brand":"Simei Qing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372304486655,"sku":"9780674023444","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aabc2a49-4b5d-4fbd-a6d2-5862a3205d50.jpg?v=1732725579","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-allies-to-enemies-simei-qing-9780674023444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
