More often than not, their initial fascination was followed by disillusion and disenchantment, a syndrome reflecting a deep-set ambivalence about whether to accept Communist China on its own terms or to pursue a long-standing quest to remake the Middle Kingdom in America's own image. At a time of great debate over the future of US-China relations, the characters in this book speak to us about the challenges of finding common ground.| Item type | Current library | Class number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
