Engaging China - (Nancy Bernkopf Tucker and Warren I. Cohen Book on American-E) by Anne Thurston

The Engaging China book offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary analysis of the complex relationship between the United States and China over the last half-century.

With contributions from leading China specialists, including academics, former diplomats, and leaders of China-related nongovernmental organizations, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the successes and mistakes of engagement, as well as the current deterioration of the relationship.

The authors reassess American engagement with China from various perspectives, including political, diplomatic, economic, social, cultural, commercial, educational, medical, and military.

They highlight the accomplishments and hard-won successes of engagement while also acknowledging the well-earned distrust and genuine frictions that plague the relationship today.

This book is a vital reconsideration for a time when the stakes of U.S.

policy toward China have never been higher, offering insights for students, policymakers, and the general public alike.
