Most of the maps that appear in this book have been significantly amended or redrawn from existing sources to match them to the specific chapters. In some instances, the changes have been less extensive. Special thanks to I Made Andi Arsana for redrafting the majority of the maps appearing in this volume. Particular thanks also to Miss Kabita Ghimire for meticulously preparing the map of the Sino-Nepalese border. The map on India-China territorial disputes has been adapted from Brahma Chellaney, Water: Asias New Battleground (Georgetown University Press, 2011). of the Myanmar-China border.

Profound thanks to Allen Whiting, who, in addition to writing such classics as China Crosses the Yalu, during the 1950s discovered the Columbia University copy of the original Karakhan manifesto that promised the return of the Chinese Eastern Railway to China without compensation, thus helping to inspire a whole generation of students researching Sino-Soviet diplomatic and border relations.

Patricia Kolb of M.E. Sharpe has maintained a strong interest in our series over many years. Along with the able Kimberly Giambattisto and Ana Erlic at M.E. Sharpe, Pat provided invaluable editorial assistance on the current volume.

Finally, the editors would like to thank their spouses, Sarah C.M. Paine (Elleman) Soyoung Lee (Kotkin), and Sandra Carruthers (Schofield) for their support.

Publications and commentaries continue to proclaim China as the worlds newest superpower, though fewer analysts evince similar passion for elucidating the many limits to Beijings great power ambitions. Fewer still take account of the unique circumstance that China borders on 20 countriesmore than any other state. Unlike the United States, which abuts Canada and Mexico as well as the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, China has perhaps the worlds most strategically complex geography. China has twelve land and six maritime neighbors, together with two neighborsKorea and Vietnamwith which it shares both land and sea boundaries. This circumstance provides China with a source of enormous leverage, but also equally monumental challenges.

Beijing has made significant progress in forging diplomatic and economic links with its neighbors, and in resolving many territorial disputes, but China and its neighbors disagree over a significant number of overlapping territorial and maritime claims, including disputes over what lies under the ground and under the sea. The present volume of twenty essays addresses Chinas neighborhood and boundaries with Afghanistan, Bhutan, Brunei, Indonesia, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, and Vietnam. In doing so, we offer a very different vantage point on Chinas rise as a great powerthe perspective of its 20 neighbors.
