China-Japan Relations after World War Two
Book • 2016
This book provides a rich empirical account of China's foreign economic policy towards Japan after World War II. Amy King examines how China's Communist leaders conceived of Japan as a symbol of a modern, industrialized nation and how Japanese goods, technology, and expertise were crucial in strengthening China's economy and military.
Despite the absence of formal diplomatic relations, China and Japan engaged in significant trade agreements and exchanges of industrial experts and technicians between 1949 and 1971.
The book explores the paradox of China 'trading with the enemy' and the complex dynamics of Sino-Japanese relations during the Cold War era, including the impact of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution on their economic ties.
