Reverse Convergence? Donald Trump and the Prospect for US– China Stability
Asia-Pacific
Biden’s Misguided China Policy
US President Joe Biden's China policy rests on two conceptual pillars: great-power relationships as battles between two ideological blocs, democracy and autocracy; and globalisation as a zero-sum game in the struggle for hegemony. But China's supposed tilt towards Western norms was essentially wishful thinking on the part of the US policy elite, and Chinese leaders have emphasised the country's aim of peaceful, 'win–win' advancement. The Biden ad…

The Quest for Legitimacy in Chinese Politics: A New Interpretation
Xiang explains the nature and depth of the legitimacy crisis facing the government of China, and why it is so frequently misunderstood in the West. Arguing that it is more helpful to understand the quest for legitimacy in China as an eternally dynamic process, rather than to seek resolutions in constitutionalism, Xiang examines the understanding of legitimacy in Chinese political philosophy. He posits that the current crisis is a consequence of t…

This is the first book to provide a panoramic view of the origins of the Boxer War. Comprehensively examining this historical conundrum of the 20th century from a detached perspective, the book is based on ten years of exhaustive research of both unpublished and published materials from all nine countries involved. Analysing the misunderstanding between the Chinese and foreign governments of the day, Lanxin Xiang debunks the traditional view that…

China and the ‘Pivot’
From Beijing's perspective, many symbolic acts in Washington point to the emergence of a new cold war. A new generation of leaders may show greater willingness to confront America's mindset head-on

The Recognition Controversy: Anglo-American Relations in China, 1949
Anglo-American differences in China in 1949 are often regarded as the result of misunderstandings and lack of communication. In fact, for the first time since the end of the war, the two governments had engaged in frequent consultations over major policy issues in the Far East. Yet the more Washington was willing to explain its position, the farther apart the two were driven. This suggests that the conflict was deeply rooted, more so than many sc…

China's Eurasian Experiment
An unexpected side-effect of the war in Iraq was to ease China's integration into the global mainstream. The US-led war triggered an anti-war 'entente active' of four major powers: France, Germany, Russia and China. For the first time in history, no major geopolitical conflict divides the powers of the Eurasian mainland. Three new strategic links have arisen - the Sino-Russian strategic partnership; the EU 'Common Strategy towards Russia'; and wh…

Washington's Misguided China Policy
A central premise of the Bush foreign-policy team is that China is trying to challenge the status quo. China is seen as a rising power with a grudge against the international system. In short, we are said to be entering the twenty-first century equivalent of the early twentieth century, when a democratic England struggled with a rising, authoritarian Germany. But this analogy - of a 'Wilhelmine China' - is flawed, for it is hardly obvious, in the…
