The triumph of the Chinese Revolution was a turning point in history-but the true challenge was just beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChina and the World follows the history of China's foreign policy as it forged a path of socialist construction. Professor Ken Hammond illuminates how China has moved through phases in an ever-changing political landscape: positioning itself through its relationships between the capitalist US and the socialist Soviet Union camps; exploring reform and opening within the global capitalist system; and taking a stronger position in global affairs as the largest economy in the world today. But as China offers an alternative to the exploitation of US imperialism, its position as a global power has also made it the target of a US-led new Cold War. Understanding China's relationships to the world is essential to understanding what is next for the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368429682911,"sku":"9798991013925","price":23.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/dHBAbNzWW99798991013925.webp?v=1789128403","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/china-and-the-world-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
