Ping-Chia Kuo, a distinguished Chinese historian and diplomat, chronicles the dramatic political, social, and economic forces reshaping modern China in the mid-twentieth century, charting the country's turbulent path from imperial decay through nationalist struggle to the consolidation of Communist power under Mao Zedong.\n\nWith the precision of a scholar and the clarity of an insider, Kuo argues that China's transformation cannot be understood without a firm grasp of its deep historical currents, its Confucian social fabric, and the immense pressures exerted by Western imperialism and Cold War geopolitics. His measured yet compelling prose illuminates the aspirations of a people determined to reclaim sovereignty and reshape their destiny on the world stage. Published in 1956, when the People's Republic was still in its formative years, this work stands as a remarkable primary document of its era — raising questions about power, identity, and modernisation that remain urgently relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203282673883,"sku":"2026100009809-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e079e604-3212-40b7-8e42-15e39a96c9c6.png?v=1788147491","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009809-secondhand-china-new-age-and-new-outlook","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
