Rezensionen

Dalton Lin's carefully researched book on Beijing's support for Vietnam during the Cold War demonstrates that China's strategic patronage of neighboring countries long predates Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of China's foreign relations and the Cold War in Asia.
