Reviews

[Meihan Liu · Rating 4 out of 5]

The content is kind of outdated since it was published in 2007 and both China and EU have changed much since then. Yahuda's description of the social thoughts prevailing in China in the 1910s and 20s does not seem very accurate to me. Prof. Shambaugh again demonstrates his amazing writing and analytic skills in providing a comprehensive assessment of Sino-European relations from both parties' perspective. (The NIE thing at the end of the conclusion is such a model...). How rosy the picture seemed to be back in 2006!
