Henry Киссинджер wrote a book on a country that well knows and helped that to form relationships with the West.An author studies the key moments of the Chinese foreign policy - from the most ancient times and to our days, and tells about the "internal kitchen" of Chinese diplomacy.Leaning against the rich experience of intermingling with the Chinese leaders - Мао Цзэдуном, Чжоу Эньлаем and Dan Сяопином, Киссинджер reflects about that, what influence each of rendered them on the fate of modern China, and also does own prognoses about global correlation of political forces in the XXI century.
