Abstract

America's top China-watcher, the renowned pandit of modern Chinese history, here provides an unrivaled overview of revolutionary China and Chinese-American relations. His reviews and critical commentary scrutinize our always fascinated, often puzzled attitude toward this newly emergent superpower. John Fairbank distinguishes two major motifs in recent Chinese-American connections: the American expectation of highly profitable trade and investment, which so far have not materialized, and the deep-rooted missionary impulse to give the Chinese the best of our culture, which includes our efforts to promote human rights. The possibility of grafting our ideas of individual endeavor and God-given prerogatives onto two thousand years of Confucianism with its emphasis on duty and collective harmony seems remote. In contrast, the outlook for mutually enriching economic dealings is much brighter. Yet Fairbank cautions that we are dealing with a huge and disoriented nation struggling to enter the modern world with its own cultural identity intact, and (at least in the current period) with its Communist Party in power. Confucian tenets still prevail: theory and practice are a unity policies are a form of conduct manifesting one's character, and attacks on policy equal attacks on the ruling party. These writings concern China in the mind's eye of America-as it is interpreted though the works of American merchants, diplomats, missionaries, and reporters observing China's travail of revolution. For generalist, scholar, and sage alike, China Watch offers many insights.

Abstract

Public discussion of our China policy in recent months has emphasized the need for a historical view of the ancient "Middle Kingdom" (the Chinese name for China) and its modern revolution. Fairbank has been a leading witness before Congressional groups such as Senator Fulbright's Committee on Foreign Relations, where his testimony received worldwide attention. This volume presents the major themes of his testimony more fully by bringing together essays first published in various national journals, mainly in 1966. The three parts of this book--"China's Revolution in the Light of Her Past," "The Taiwan Problem," and "Communist China and American Policy"--all bring a knowledge of China's long tradition to bear upon her present crisis. China's past still provides the main repertory of themes and styles, assumptions and methods, upon which her leaders draw in trying to meet their problems. Mao and his party are both circumscribed and inspired by the history of their Middle Kingdom. Although this history is by no means the sole determinant of their actions, it is the specific factor least well known, and therefore most illuminating, to Americans. The importance and timeliness of these essays, the urgency of their subject matter, are plain enough. As Fairbank says, "We have to face the fact that the Chinese quarter of mankind live on the other side of a cultural gap, and our effort to bridge this gap in the next decade may make us or break us."

Abstract

Avec la chute de l'URSS, le partenariat stratégique sino-américain s'est trouvé profondément remis en cause. La dissolution de l'adversaire commun rendait moins pressante la nécessité d'une coopération, et ce n'est que progressivement que la conscience partagée d'une interdépendance économique grandissante allait, dans une certaine mesure, prendre le relais. Ainsi, la fin de la guerre froide a ouvert la voie à un changement de la relation sino-américaine, les enjeux commerciaux et la question des droits de l'homme ne se trouvant plus systématiquement subordonnés à l'impératif géopolitique consistant pour Washington à ménager Pékin afin de renforcer sa position face à Moscou. Soumise à des impulsions plus nombreuses et plus souvent contradictoires, la politique chinoise des États-Unis apparaît donc plus volatile, et ce d'autant que l'ensemble des acteurs contribuant à sa définition s'est considérablement élargi. Du côté chinois, on observe aussi une relative décentralisation du processus décisionnel en matière de politique extérieure. De cette complexification découlent en partie les oscillations qui caractérisent les relations entre les États-Unis et la Chine aujourd'hui, relations dont l'imprévisibilité à court terme alimente des frustrations réciproques. Mélange étrange de fascination et de répulsion réciproque, la relation sino-américaine est unique et force chacun des deux acteurs à inventer une nouvelle politique étrangère. Le plan de l'ouvrage est mi-thématique, mi-chronologique. Dans une première partie, centrée sur les rapports interétatiques, après un rappel historique mettant en perspective la rupture des événements de 1989 (chap. 1), les étapes des relations sino-américaines sont retracées et leurs dynamiques identifiées à la fin du XXe siècle (chap. 2), avant d'aborder plus spécifiquement la question taïwanaise (chap. 3). La seconde partie, elle, est consacrée aux interactions entre les sociétés : flux de personnes (chap. 4), relations économiques et commerciales (chap. 5), échanges culturels (chap. 6) ou coopération pour favoriser la formation d'un État de droit en Chine (chap. 7).

Abstract
