China Complex: From The Sublime To The Absurd On The U.s.-china Scene

For More Than A Century, The United States And China Have Been Partners In An Occasionally Graceful-but Often Awkwardcultural-political Tango. In This Insightful Narrative, Shouhua Qi, Part Of A New Generation Of Scholars Whose Life Experiences In China And The West Serve As The Basis For An Acute Analysis Of Cross-cultural Perceptions, Weaves Literary And Cultural Criticism Together With Journeys Across Time, Politics, And Popular Culture. Part Memoir, Qi Reveals The China Complex As A Manifestation Of The Search For Meaning At Many Levels: Personal, National, And Global. Qi’s Comments On U.s. And Chinese Perceptions Of Military Might, Presidential Sex Scandals, Chinese And American Media Throughout The 1980s, 1990s, And Today, Serve As A Powerful Foundation For How The United States And China Must Deal With One Another In The Years Ahead. For Anyone Seeking A Cogent Assessment Of The Interpersonal Foundations Of The U.s. And China Relationship In The Twenty-first Century, China Complex Is A Must-read.–jacket. Shouhua Qi.
