Examines China's future and political balance of power by analyzing the goals and methods of Hua Kuo-feng, Mao's successor, together with domestic problems, social and economic developments, and foreign relations
As you may know, I am writing a historical novel focused on the relationship between the US and China during and after the Nixon visit in 1972. Most of what I've read has been published recently, so I looked for books written closer to the time to get a sense of what people were thinking then. This was an excellent source for my purpose.
