The Sino-Soviet Alliance: An International History by Austin Jersild
When this book on the Sino-Soviet split during the Cold War was published in 2014, it joined two other prominent works that were also based on extensive international archival research. In The Sino-Soviet Split: Cold War in the Communist World (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2008), Lorenz Lüthi argues that the main cause of the Sino-Soviet split lay in ideological differences. A contrasting view was expressed in Sergey Radchenko, Two …

A Misunderstood Friendship: Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, and Sino-North Korean Relations, 1949-1976: Revised Edition
Today, the People’s Republic of China is North Korea’s only ally on the world stage, a tightly knit relationship that goes back decades. Both countries portray their partnership as one of "brotherly affection" based on shared political ideals—an alliance "as tight as lips to teeth"—even though relations have deteriorated in recent years due to China’s ascendance and North Korea’s intransigence.In A Misunderstood Friendship, leading diplomatic his…
Mao and the Sino-Soviet Split, 1959–1973: A New History
In the twenty-first century, students of Cold War history are fortunate to have the fruits of several major works on the Sino-Soviet split by European and American scholars. What is lacking in English literature, however, is a book based on international documentation, especially Chinese archival documents that tell the story from the Chinese perspective. Based on archival materials from several countries—particularly China—and more than twenty y…
China’s Diplomacy toward the United States in the Twentieth Century: A Survey of the Literature
This article is a review of the literature by mainland Chinese scholars on China’s diplomacy toward the United States during the twentieth century. It describes not only the content of major books and articles published in the last twenty years, but also key areas of interpretative disagreement.
Accidental State: Chiang Kai-shek, the United States, and the Making of Taiwan
After his defeat by Mao Zedong in the Chinese Civil War, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan in 1949 to establish a rival Nationalist government in Taiwan, thus creating the Two Chinas dilemma. Most scholarship agrees with this narrative. Many scholars also believe that, during the period between 1949 and 1954, U.S. policy toward Chiang's government in Taipei underwent a significant transformation. Washington gradually came to believe that supporting …
Mao and the Sino–Soviet Partnership, 1945–1959: A New History
Based on Chinese archival documents, interviews, and more than twenty years of research on the subject, Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia offer a comprehensive look at the Sino-Soviet alliance between the end of the World War II and 1959, when the alliance was left in disarray as a result of foreign and domestic policies. This book is a reevaluation of the history of this alliance and is the first book published in English to examine it from a Chinese p…
Mao's China and the Sino-Soviet Split: Ideological Dilemma
In his study of Sino-Soviet relations during the Cold War, Mingjiang Li, a political scientist at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, argues that “when ideological differences exist between two countries, political leaders in one country are likely to regard the ideological and political orientation of the other country as a challenge and even a threat to their own domestic ideological and political program and goals” (p. 1). Relying o…
Jockeying for Leadership: Mao and the Sino-Soviet Split, October 1961–July 1964
In October 1961 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) adopted a policy of tacit struggle against the program of the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The CPSU's resumption of de-Stalinization alarmed the Chinese leader, Mao Zedong, but he did not yet want to discard a limited rapprochement with Moscow. However, when high-level Sino-Soviet talks in July 1963 collapsed, the relationship between the CPSU and the CCP became…
Chinese–North Korean Relations and China's Policy toward Korean Cross-Border Migration, 1950–1962
Making use of Chinese Foreign Ministry archives and provincial and municipal archives, this article traces the history of cross-border migration of ethnic Koreans from 1950 to 1962, especially the illegal migration of ethnic Koreans to North Korea (DPRK) in 1961. A historical examination of Koreans in northeast China demonstrates that the Chinese Communist Party attempted to achieve a workable policy toward Korean border crossers as well as a dis…
Leadership transfer in the Asian revolution: Mao Zedong and the Asian Cominform
On the eve of the victory of the Chinese revolution, Mao Zedong became interested in creating an Asian Cominform. Although Stalin agreed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should lead the Asian revolution and agreed in principle to the idea of an Asian Cominform, he was not in favour of immediate action. After hearing Moscow's opinion, the CCP started to train communist cadres from Asian countries. The CCP gained actual leadership of the Asia…
The Great Leap Forward, the People's Commune and the Sino-Soviet Split
Utilizing recently available Chinese and Russian archival sources and pertinent media reports, this article attempts to unravel the truth on the connection between the Great Leap Forward/the People's Commune Movement and the Sino-Soviet split. It aims to address the following questions: what are the actual divergences between China and the Soviet Union on the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune Movement? How did Mao react to the Soviet at…
LBJ's China Policy Initiatives: LBJ's China Policy Initiatives
For years, the conflict in Vietnam dominated the study of U.S. foreign policy during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ). Since the mid-1990s, with the declassification of U.S. government archives on the Johnson administration, scholarship on Johnson's foreign policies has begun to move “beyond Vietnam.” In his 1995 study of LBJ's international policies, H. W. Brands concurred that LBJ handled Vietnam “disastrously” and would “never be judg…
Vacillating between Revolution and Détente: Mao's Changing Psyche and Policy toward the United States, 1969-1976
The whirlwind of China: Zhou Enlai's shuttle diplomacy in 1957 and its effects
Zhou Enlai's shuttle diplomacy in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in January 1957 was an important link between Liu Shaoqi's visit to the Soviet Union in October 1956 and Mao Zedong's attendance at the Moscow Conference of World Communist and Workers' Parties in November 1957. Based on recently available Chinese and Eastern European archival sources, this article argues that Zhou's shuttle diplomacy achieved certain degree of success because …
Hidden Currents during the Honeymoon: Mao, Khrushchev, and the 1957 Moscow Conference
The Conference of World Communist and Workers' Parties held in Moscow in November 1957 was the largest gathering of world Communists since the birth of Marxism. Scholars have long assumed that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) dominated the conference. Newly declassified archival records and memoirs indicate that the idea of convening a conference and issuing a joint declaration was proposed by both the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) …

Introduction to “The United States and China: New Evidence and Interpretations”
In the last twenty years, the study of Sino-American relations during the Cold War has made major strides with the declassification of Chinese, American, and Japanese archives.

Myth or Reality: Factional Politics, U.S.-China Relations, and Mao Zedong's Mentality in His Sunset Years, 1972–1976
Official Chinese Communist historiography claims that the “Gang of Four” interfered in China's foreign policymaking, especially China's relations with the United States from the time of President Richard Nixon's visit to China in February 1972 to October 1976 when the Gang of Four was ousted. Seizing on the difference in thinking between Chinese paramount leader Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai on the criticism of the “Ultra-left Trend …
Competing for Leadership: Split or Détente in the Sino-Soviet Bloc, 1959–1961
Disagreements between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union in the late 1950s over both foreign policy — China's bombardment of Jinmen in August 1958 and border clashes with India in 1959 — and domestic policy — the Great Leap Forward in 1958–60 and the People's Communes Movement in 1958 — provoked a more contentious ideological dispute: which party, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or the Communist Party of the Soviet Union …

Negotiating At Cross-Purposes: Sino-American Ambassadorial Talks, 1961–68
Previous studies on the Sino-American ambassadorial talks have underestimated the efficacy of the negotiations from 1961 to 1968. New documentation from both U.S. and Chinese sources shows that both Washington and Beijing viewed the Warsaw channel as vitally important in managing the delicate relationship and made every effort to keep it going. Based on these new sources, this article analyzes the context of the Sino-American talks in the 1960s, …

China's Elite Politics and Sino-American Rapprochement, January 1969–February 1972
Western scholars have long assumed that Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai encountered opposition within the Chinese leadership when they sought to improve relations with the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Formerly secret documents and first-hand accounts published in China over the last two decades cast doubt on this assumption. Drawing on newly available Chinese sources, this article examines China's policymaking process vis-à-vis the …
