In three editions of The United States and China he has provided these. In this fourth edition, enlarged, he includes a new Preface and an Epilogue that brings the book up to date through the events of 1982. He has also updated the vast bibliography and both indexes. This book stands almost alone as a history of China, an analysis of Chinese society, and an account of Sino-American relations, all in brief compass. The older portions of the book still sparkle, and they have been refined by the latest scholarship and the author's own observations in the People's Republic of China. And many photographs, especially chosen by John and Wilma Fairbank, show a changing land and its inhabitants.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John King Fairbank</note> <subject> <topic>China -- Foreign Relations -- United States</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>China -- History</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">327.51</classification> <classification authority="ddc">F164-J65</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0674924363</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15656/64.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15656/64.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071515.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
