US-China Relations in the Twenty-First Century

Reviews / Votes

"In this gripping, entertaining and deeply thought-provoking study, Michael
Tai analyses the basis of trust-or lack of it-between the Chinese and
American leaderships. He asks whether these two great nations can bridge the
chasm between their vastly different historical experiences and ideological
legacies and build the kind of relationship that might lead us towards a cleaner
planet, a more stable and fairer financial system and ultimately take us
down the road to peace rather than set us on a path to war. It is impossible to
exaggerate the importance of this book, for the fate of the world rests largely
in their hands."

Tim Clissold, author of Mr China and China Rules



"World peace depends on sensible power sharing based on trust between the
two remaining superpowers. Michael Tai's scholarly and deeply insightful
book underlines the need to temper the distrustful impulses of each nation's
power elites driven by historical prejudices and lack of empathy. An important
contribution to the understanding of China-US relations."

"This is a masterful and probing study, of how trust in business global
relations is precariously pivoted on personal probity and relationships.
It should appeal to leaders and students in many disciplines."
