In the past, Japan's need for raw materials to fuel its modernisation programs led to a series of colonial conquest in Greater China. Defeat in the Pacific war ended Japanese aggression in Chinese territory but left a legacy of bitterness. Robert Taylor explores this ambigous economic and political relationship between Greater China and Japan. Taylor recognizes the mutual supsicions; the Chinese fear of a Japanese military revivial and the Japanese concern over Chinese territorial ambitions. He also sees shared advantages, concluding that there is potential for both Sino-Japanese rivalry and cooperation. This book is an invaluable aid to understanding the economic and political tensions between the two countries and the implications of this relationship to the development of the economic regions of East Asia. |

Publisher Description: Contemporary relations between Greater China and Japan have been conditioned both by differing responses to the impact of Western colonialism during the mid-nineteenth century and the legacy of the Cold War. There are mutual suspicions: the Chinese fear of a Japanese military revival and the Japanese concern over increasing Chinese economic competition and territorial ambitions. |
