 | Sino-Japanese Relations: China's Perspective Subjects: Area Studies; Politics & International Relations; American Studies; Asian Studies; International Relations; Asian Studies (General); Asia Pacific Studies; Chinese Studies; Japanese Studies; Foreign Policy; This book, first published in 1988, analyses the economic changes that China and Japan underwent in the 1980s - changes that not only underlined, but also added to, the complexity of the relationship between these two important Asian powers. China saw a key role for Japan in its modernization plans, but was disappointed by the unbalanced economic partnership formed. Japan moved towards a higher political profile, but did not find it easy to manage politico-strategic issues with China. The evolution of the relationship is of crucial importance not only to regional stability and development but also to broader Western interests in Asia. |
