Living U.S.-China Relations: From Cold War to Cold War

April 05, 2024 17:23 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MB

David M. Lampton’s new book addresses a core critique of the management of Sino-American relations across eight administrations: that naïve American elites conflated their hopes for democracy and a globally responsible China with the actual prospects for those ends, and, in the process, traded away American interests, competitive position, and national security.
