Economic Cold War : America's embargo against China and the Sino-Soviet alliance, 1949-1963

"Why would one country impose economic sanctions against another in pursuit of foreign policy objectives? How effective is the use of economic weapons in attaining such objectives? Economic Cold War, by Shu Guang Zhang, aims to answer these questions. The author examines how and why the United States and its allies instituted economic sanctions against the People's Republic of China in the 1950s, and how the embargo affected Chinese domestic policy and the Sino-Soviet Alliance.

This study, based on recently declassified documents in the United States, Great Britain, China, and Russia, is unusual in that it looks at both sides of "the China embargo.""--BOOK JACKET.
