In an act of totally unnecessary and wanton destruction, British forces in China during the Second Opium War (1856-1860) looted and destroyed much of the Old Imperial Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) including three imperial gardens and hundreds of halls, pavilions, and temples stock full of ancient artwork, antiquities, and literary works. More than a hundred years later, President Xi Jinping (2013- ) of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) proclaimed the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the economic and especially military power to prevent any such recurrence of national humiliation. Though not yet a superpower equal in global stature to the United States, the PRC is undoubtedly poised to become the equal if not the superior power in the Asia-Pacific region expanding its territorial claims in the South China Sea and asserting undisputed economic dominance. With government, business, and academic leaders debating how regional and global powers should respond to a rising China.
Historical Dictionary of Chinese Foreign Affairs contains a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on major events, national institutions, foreign nations, and personages impacting Chinese foreign affairs along with the many institutions of the post-World War II international order that the PRC has engaged especially since the 1970s. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chinese foreign affairs.

Editors Foreword

The Peoples Republic of China is one of the most dynamic countries in the world, with an active and indeed imaginative foreign policy and contacts with virtually every country and countless organizations. But that was not always the case. There were periods when it was much more inward looking, and others when its horizons were limited to other Communist countries, although throughout history the United States has always been in its field of vision, until the present, when it is everywhere doing rather incredible things. This could be accomplished not only because China has the second-largest population and second-largest economy in the world, but also because it has made up its mind to be a world player and a world leader. Gone are the days when, under Mao Zedong, it held back, and under his successors it played an ordinary role. Fast forward to the present day, when it wants to be a leader and, in fact, already is.
