Grains of Conflict: The Struggle for Food in China’s Total War, 1937–1945
Min Jian: The Rise of China's Grassroots Intellectuals
In China, the shock of the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Massacre abruptly terminated a post-Mao decade of rapid socioeconomic change and halting political liberalization. Deng Xiaoping and old-guard communist leaders decisively rebuffed young and old reform-minded intellectuals who were devoted to the imperial tradition of loyal literati remonstrating with rulers to effect urgently needed changes. This deeply researched and consistently thought-provok…
Cold War Democracy: The United States and Japan
The author of this impressive contribution to the history of early post–World War II U.S.-Japan relations views Cold War democracy as an oxymoron. Transfixed by the twin specters of domestic subversion and international communism, and aiming to transform a militarist enemy into a democratic ally, the United States, Jennifer M. Miller says, collaborated with recycled Japanese conservative elites to foster a statist, elitist, antipopular, and “almo…
Russia's Dead End: An Insider's Testimony from Gorbachev to Putin
Xiaoming Zhang. Deng Xiaoping’s Long War: The Military Conflict between China and Vietnam, 1979–1991
Within the People’s Republic of China, the terrain of modern Chinese history is filled with “No Trespassing” signs—topics that political authorities declare off-limits to serious historians because of those subjects’ sensitivity. The 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre (also known as the June Fourth or Tiananmen Square Incident) is a notable example, as is Mao Zedong’s sex life. According to Xiaoming Zhang in his new book Deng Xiaoping’s Long War: The…

United States and Asia at War: A Cultural Approach
FRANCO David Macri. Clash of Empires in South China: The Allied Nations' Proxy War with Japan, 1935-1941
From a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective, World War II began with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in September 1931, not with Germany's invasion of Poland eight years later. The outbreak of the second Sino-Japanese War on July 7, 1937, impelled the major powers, of which China was not one, to consider whether China, under Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government, could long sustain its resistance against vastly superior mechanized J…
The China Fallacy: How the US Can Benefit from China's Rise and Avoid Another Cold War

This forum includes six commentaries on Lorenz M. Lüthi's book The Sino-Soviet Split: Cold War in the Communist World, published by Princeton University Press in 2008. Drawing on recently declassified documents and memoirs from numerous countries, Lüthi explains how and why the close alliance between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China fell apart in a remarkably short time, dissolving into fierce mutual enmity. Amassing a wealth o…

Second Chance in China: Sino-Soviet Relations in the 1990s
The normalization of Sino-Soviet relations in 1989 represents an important element in the evolving post-cold-war system of East Asian regional and global politics. Unlike the Sino-Soviet security alliance cum ideological partnership of the 1950s, the new relationship is both pragmatic and limited. The improved security atmosphere is evidenced by mutual force-reduction agreements and the resumption of military exchanges. Border and regional trade …

China and the Superpowers: Policies toward the United States and the Soviet Union
The foreign policy of China, a nation which proudly proclaims itself to be a developing socialist country belonging to the Third World, continues to be defined largely by what it perceives as the imperatives of its relationships with the Soviet Union and the United States. The end of the Cultural Revolution which coincided with the beginnings of Nixon-Kissinger diplomacy and a border-war crisis in Sino-Soviet relations introduced a new fluidity i…

China Policy during Carter's Year One
DURING THE 1977 Christmas season, a best selling item in Plains, Georgia, was a cup and saucer set made in Taiwan depicting President Carter and scenes from his home town.' This neatly symbolized the continuing hold that the issue of Taiwan had on the president during a year that saw little if any movement towards the goal of normalizing Sino-American relations. The illusion, fostered by the inauguration of a new administration, that long intract…
A New Look at American Mediation in the Chinese Civil War: The Marshall Mission and Manchuria
[Editor's note: This article introduces the pin-yin system for romanizing Chinese characters. The editor, trained in the Wade-Giles system, hesitates to switch. Readers' views are solicited.] General George C. Marshall's effort to mediate the conflict between the Chinese Nationalists and Communists after World War II is often viewed as a selfless if misguided episode in American foreign policy. It is said that by seeking to promote a unified and …
