Description
The Great Reversal: Britain, China and the 400-Year Contest for Power by Kerry Brown A history of the complex relationship between two nations that have shaped the modern world. From the early days of trade to the present day, the interaction between Britain and China has been marked by periods of cooperation and conflict. This book explores how their relationship has evolved over time, with significant consequences for global politics. Brown examines the ways in which British economic and political ambitions have intersected with Chinese ideas and exports, from tea and art to porcelain and silk. He shows how the balance of power between the two nations shifted in China's favour by the late twentieth century, with far-reaching effects on the world order. An understanding of Britain's relationship with China is now more vital than ever, as their interactions continue to shape global politics and economies.
