Produktbeschreibung
The U.S. and China are the world's two largest countries undergoing rapid changes. If you follow the media, you will find that the US-China relation yoyos from worse to better and better to worse in the past few years while each is changing politically and economically. The recent change in US-China relation for the worse is worrisome to the entire world. The already complex relationship between the two giants is further compounded by the fierce Presidential election in 2016 resulting in a new US administration which prefers to play Trump cards in a no-trump game (bridge jargon). The US new Administration seems to disregard old game rules, conventional suits and existing contracts creating a great uncertainty in her China policy which is troubling and challenging China and bewildering the US allies. China, on the other hand, is gearing up more efforts interjecting her into global affairs while trying to maintain her healthy economic growth and keeping the U.S. at arm's length. Will the two giants change for the better or worse is the author's quest for answer in his writings. Changing Giants - The U.S. and China is Dr. Chang's third book following Understanding the US and China (2015) and US-China Relations (2014) to track the development of the U.S. and China and monitor their changing relationship. In this book, Dr, Chang makes close examination on the current events happening between the two nations and interprets their consequences all in light of the unique historical background of each nation. Through the pages of this book, the author hopes that better understanding of the past can lead people to influence the future. The author hopes that the two changing giants will develop a collaborative relationship for the sake of the world peace and prosperity.
