The Great Transformation
The first thorough account of a formative and little understood chapter in Chinese history “Almost every page contains an eye-opening detail. . . . The Great Transformation evokes the multiple paths, ideas and possibilities that have shaped, and continue to shape, China’s present.”—Julia Lovell, Financial Times Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian chronicle how an impoverished and terrorized China experienced radical political changes in the long 1970s …
Zhou Enlai
Zhou Enlai, China’s first premier, is overshadowed by Mao, but Zhou’s influence in his own time and since has been vast. Chen Jian shows Zhou using his political and bureaucratic skills and centralism to mitigate the damage caused by Mao’s radicalism and argues that Zhou created conditions for the post-Mao reforms that have made China a superpower.
The Cambridge History of the Vietnam War
When, how, and why did the Vietnam War begin? Although its end is dated April 30, 1975, there is no agreement as to when it began. The Vietnam War was an enormously complex conflict and while any comprehensive reckoning must include the role of the US, it was not an 'American War'. This volume presents the scholarship that has flourished since the 1990s to situate the war and its origins within longer chronologies and larger interpretative perspe…
Research on Niche Evaluation of Photovoltaic Agriculture in China
To evaluate the ecological niche of China's photovoltaic agriculture, this paper firstly analyzed the composition of photovoltaic agriculture and constructed the ecosystem of photovoltaic agriculture. Then, we defined the concept of the ecological niche of photovoltaic agriculture, and based on this the preliminary niche evaluation index system was constructed. Further, redundant indicators in the preliminary index system were deleted based on th…
Spatial and Temporal Characteristics and Drivers of Agricultural Carbon Emissions in Jiangsu Province, China
Scientific measurement and analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) and the influencing factors are important prerequisites for the formulation of reasonable ACEs reduction policies. Compared with previous studies, this paper fully considers the heterogeneity of rice carbon emission coefficients, measures and analyzes the spatial and temporal characteristics of ACEs in Jiangsu Provi…
The Routledge Handbook of the Global Sixties
It is commonplace to read in many of the Israeli academic and quasi-academic works on Palestinian society that Israeli policies led to new economic and social openings for Palestinian women (Lavine 1982; Maoz 1984; Semyonov 1994, among others). The assessment immediately below reflects a typical account of how the Israeli administration modernized Palestinian women. 2018 selection and editorial matter, Chen Jian, Martin Klimke, Masha Kirasirova, …
China and the First Indo-China War, 1950–54
The Viet Minh&s;s victory in the border campaign changed the balance of power in the Indo-China battlefield. The Central Military Committee of the CCP (CMCC) and the Central Committee of the Indo-China Communist Party both endorsed the plan. In April 1950, the Central Committee of the Indo-China Communist Party formally asked for military advisers from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Geneva Conference about Korea and Indo-China was schedul…
Self-Compassion and Confucian Coping as a Predictor of Depression and Anxiety in Impoverished Chinese Undergraduates
The ability of self-compassion and Confucian coping to predict anxiety and depression were examined in impoverished Chinese undergraduate students. Three hundred and thirty impoverished undergraduates completed measures of self-compassion, Confucian coping, depression, and anxiety. Results showed that higher self-compassion predicted lower depression and anxiety in impoverished undergraduates. Higher pro-setback thinking and responsibility thinki…
Bridging Revolution and Decolonization
The years 1954-1955 witnessed visible changes in Beijing's representation of China's international policies. After its establishment in 1949, the People's Republic of China (PRC) appeared as a “revolutionary country” on the international scene, challenging the legitimacy of the existing international system controlled by Western imperialist powers—and the United States in particular. Mao Zedong and his comrades made it clear that a primary missio…
The Tibetan Rebellion of 1959 and China's Changing Relations with India and the Soviet Union
Tibet, which had enjoyed de facto independence from 1911 to 1950, was resubordinated to China in late 1950 and 1951 through a combination of political pressure and military force. On 10 March 1959 a mass revolt broke out in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Amid growing turmoil, the 14th Dalai Lama fled the capital. After Chinese troops moved into Lhasa on 20 March to crush the rebellion, the Tibetan leader took refuge in neighboring India. The Chines…
Reading and Warning the Likely Enemy
Vietnam War reached a critical juncture early in 1965 when the People's Republic of China warned the United States, which had launched Operation Rolling Thunder, the massive and continuous bombardment of North Vietnam, that if it continued to escalate its military involvement, China would do everything necessary, even at the risk of a major confrontation, to 'assist Vietnam and resist America'.1 China and the United States appeared to be on cours…

The Myth of America's "Lost Chance" in China
Did there exist a chance in 1949–50 for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the United States to reach an accommodation or, at least, to avoid a confrontation? Scholars who believe that Washington “lost a chance” to pursue a non-confrontational relationship with the CCP generally base their argument on two assumptions – that the Chinese Communists earnestly sought U.S. recognition to expedite their country's postwar economic reconstruction and …
Ramming Solid Foundations for Project Hope
The principal of a county elementary school in Shaanxi Province took advantage of his powers of office to assign Project Hope quotas for assistance to out-of-school youngsters to two of his own children and to those of eight government cadres. These "assignments" lasted only half a year and involved only 300 yuan in misused funds, but [the principal] was removed from office for embezzlement and was sanctioned administratively with a major demerit…
