Editorial Reviews

Contends that an analysis of market forces, rather than an examination of national power forces, is a superior method of approaching U.S.-Chinese relations. Cheung (government and public administration, Chinese U. of Hong Kong) demonstrates how integrated markets have forced the two nations to be more responsive to each other, both in and out of the trading arena. He traces both the history of the Asian-Pacific market economy and American interactions with China. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Cheung (Chinese University, Hong Kong) has familiarized himself with the thoughts of a wide range of Chinese and American experts on American influences on post-Mao China's evolving market economy and its effects on those of the post-WW II economies of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore… Nonspecialists interested in US-China relations will benefit from this volume's rich and varied bibliography. This timely work is highly recommended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, business people, and concerned general readers.” —C. G. Hess, Choice
