Anglo-Chinese Encounters since 1800 : War, Trade, Science and Governance

Omtale

Wang Gungwu's 2003 study of the relationship between China and imperial Britain examines the possibilities in, as well as the limits of, their encounters. It takes the story beyond the clichés of opium, fighting, and diplomacy to probe more intimate encounters. Students will benefit from Wang Gungwu's fluent erudition.
