About Face
Mann's colorful and detailed narrative, studded with dozens of vivid anecdotes, reveals how ineptly [we] have managed our ties with the world's most populous nation. -- The Washington Post Book World Drawing on hundreds of previously classified documents, scores of interviews, and his own experience, James Mann, former Los Angeles Times Beijing bureau chief, presents the fascinating inside story of contemporary U.S.-China relations. President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger began their diplomacy with China in an attempt to find a way out of Vietnam. The remaining Cold War presidents saw China as an ally against the Soviet Union and looked askance at its violations of international principles. With the end of communism and China's continued human rights abuses, the U.S has failed to forge a genuinely new relationship with China. This is the essential story of contemporary U.S./China policy. -

晚清商约外交
近代史的研究,不少学者由外交入手而论述近代,其实只取其交涉经过,条约谈判,特权攫取,订约阴谋等论域发挥其研判识断。商约谈判与签订之重要,却鲜有人涉及。此类论著,亦属少见。作者积数十年之功,撰成《晚清商约外交》,研讨了晚清七十年间,中国与西方列强在重大政治事件以外所签订的种种通商条约。论述了订约经过与所受列强外交官的强索与愚弄,以及不平等条款的形成,列强特权的扩张,同时亦见出中国官员的怯懦无知,国家利权的侵损。进而则就晚清十年的中外修约,以见中国因应外交的醒觉与挽回利权的努力。 此次中华再版发行,作者思虑再三,重新撰写了《自序》。《自序》详细交代了本书写作的意图,寓意深刻,发人深省。作者开篇指出:“中国今日立足于世界瞬息万变之局,实极其需要重视外交,何况百五十年来,中国之饱受外国欺凌侵犯,以及强取豪夺,今时岂可不用心于了解国际现势,强权动态?……在近代史上我们是积弱之国,百余年来,饱受列强侵凌,故全国上下俱须提高警觉,认真研究,列强侵人之国,其一切阴谋智术,运用手法,必须深入了解掌握,以谋趋避因应之道。……算来晚清七十余年间,中国每年之商税漏卮即可抵得上一次鸦片战争之赔款,亦可谓中国商税漏卮,每年要损失一个鸦片战争之赔款量,真是令人触目惊心。因乃著此书,以为国人提示另一种外交领域,其严重性有过于战败赔款。” 可见,《晚清商约外交》不仅具有很高的学术价值,而且颇具现实意义。 刘白如先生序 自序 绪论 上编 中外商约交涉之滥觞 第一章 中英通商章程之议订及各国之通行 第二章 列强议订商约特权之永久持续规定 第三章 中俄会订陆路通商 第四章 英日外交势力对中国商权之扩张 下编 晚清十年间之中外商约交涉 第一章 中英通商行船条约之议订 第二章 中美通商行船条约之议订 第三章 中日通商行船条约之议订 第四章 中葡通商行船条约之议订 第五章 中德通商行船条约之议订——附中义、中瑞商约 第六章 余论 中西译名对照表 关键词表 参考书目 -

On China
For more than twenty years after the Communist Revolution in 1949, China and most of the western world had no diplomats in each others' capitals and no direct way to communicate. Then, in July 1971, Henry Kissinger arrived secretly in Beijing on a mission which quickly led to the reopening of relations between China and the West and changed the course of post-war history. For the past forty years, Kissinger has maintained close relations with successive generations of Chinese leaders, and has probably been more intimately connected with China at the highest level than any other western figure. This book distils his unique experience and long study of the 'Middle Kingdom', examining China's history from the classical era to the present day, and explaining why it has taken the extraordinary course that it has. The book concentrates on the decades since 1949, presenting brilliantly drawn portraits of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese leaders, and reproducing verbatim Kissinger's conversations with each of them. But Kissinger's eye rarely leaves the long continuum of Chinese history: he describes the essence of China's approach to diplomacy, strategy and negotiation, and the remarkable ways in which Communist-era statesmen have drawn on methods honed over millennia. At the end of the book, Kissinger reflects on these attitudes for our own era of economic interdependence and an uncertain future. On China is written with great authority, complete accessibility and with many wider reflections on statecraft and diplomacy distilled from years of experience. At a moment when the rest of the world is thinking about China more than ever before, this timely book offers insights that no other can.
