Book excerpt: "The twentieth century in China was one of constant change. The post-revolutionary 1920s were a time of political confusion bordering on chaos, as warlords carved China up into petty, competing fiefdoms. Only in 1928 was the country effectively reunified with the entry of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang forces into Beijing. Yet by this time the Communist Party had grown into China's second political force, and the 1930s were dominated by a simplified civil war between the two parties' armies. The Long March of 1934-5 enabled the Communists, led by Mao Zedong, to evade the Kuomintang's grasp until the two sides were brought together in 1937 to face a full-scale invasion by Japan, which had already occupied the nothern region of Manchuria and set up a puppet government there under the last Chinese emperor, Puyi. Throughout this time, the western communities of Shanghai and the other treaty ports carried on their trading activities, largely governing themselves under the principle of extraterritoriality, until the Japanese occupation of swathes of northern and eastern China ended this privileged, semi-detached existence. Following the Japanese defeat in 1945 and the resumption of civil war, the Kuomintang found themselves driven from the mainland by 1949 to seek refuge on the island of Taiwan, from where the Republic of China government, protected by the US Navy, continued to claim sovereignty over the whole country. In the rest of China the new authorities of the People's Republic enacted immensely wide-ranging political and economic change encompassing agricultural collectivisation, industrial development and attempts at cultural realignment to reflect, initially, Stalinist ideology. However, Sino-Soviet relations worsened towards the end of the 1950s, with Mao's ideas diverging from Soviet practice on the issue of how China could best make the transition to true communism. The major domestic result of this was the Great Leap Forward, a catastrophic attempt at ultra-rapid industrialisation during which millions of people were killed or died of hunger. Despite his marginalisation in the party as a consequence, Mao was able to reassume control with the Cultural Revolution of 1966, in which 'revisionists' were purged from the party and from wider Chinese society. Only with Mao's death in 1976 was the grip of his thinking on China's governance loosened, ushering in economic reform and growth under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping. During this period, Kuomintang-ruled Taiwan developed an export-driven manufacturing economy with US assistance, though the government remained autocratic and intolerant of dissent. Hong Kong and Macau continued as British and Portuguese colonial outposts in an increasingly decolonising world. This resource, published in six parts, makes available the complete British Foreign Office files dealing with China, Hong Kong and Taiwan during these decades. The quality and depth of the Foreign Office's reporting on politics, industry, trade and cultural affairs is second to none. The documents combine eyewitness accounts, weekly and monthly summaries, annual reviews, reports and analyses with a synthesis of newspaper articles and conference reports, economic assessments and synopses on leading Chinese personalities. There is a constant exchange of information between London and British diplomatic outposts in China and a continual dialogue on issues relating to East Asia between Britain and America as well as with European and Commonwealth partners. Sino-Soviet relations also become a very important consideration in the Cold War era"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and the formation of the concept of sovereignty in China from the year 1840 to the present. It contributes to broadening the history of modern China by looking at the way the notion of sovereignty was gradually articulated by key Chinese intellectuals, diplomats and political figures in the unfolding of the history of international law in China, rehabilitates Chinese agency, and shows how China challenged Western Eurocentric assumptions about the progress of international law. It puts the history of international law in a global perspective, interrogating the widely-held belief of international law as universal order and exploring the ways in which its history is closely anchored to a European experience that fails to take into account how the encounter with other non-European realities has influenced its formation.
