A fresh, lively and insightful book that can be read by student and specialist alike in search of a synoptic view of the relationship.--John Delury "Global Asia" (6/1/2023 12:00:00 AM)

A timely book. For general readers and students alike, these concise essays on critical aspects of the US-China relationship work very well. An impressive roster of authors collectively provides a broad overview of the many aspects of the relationship, going well beyond diplomacy and politics. The essays also work beautifully by themselves.--Odd Arne Westad, author of Empire and Righteous Nation: 600 Years of China-Korea Relations

Focusing on the turbulent bilateral relationship between China and the United States, The China Questions 2 offers a wide range of accessible essays on topics from international relations to culture, in a tone that is lively and argumentative but always balanced. Overall, the book has a powerful message: the United States needs informed and clear-eyed engagement with China.--Rana Mitter, author of China's Good War: How World War II Is Shaping a New Nationalism

Required reading. The authors are a who's who of American scholars on US-China relations, and the topics include virtually everything that would be of concern to students, academics, and practitioners. At a time when there are too few books on the relationship generally, this fills a wide gap. The editors have my admiration.--Stephen A. Orlins, President of the National Committee on United States-China Relations
