David Clayton examines the political economy of Sino-British relations in the 1950s. He discusses, among other issues, the state of diplomatic relations, British investments in China and the pattern of Sino-British trade. He assesses Communist China's troubled integration into world diplomatic and trading systems and the attempts by US administrations to restrict western economic and political contact with China; a policy that directly threatened British interests and influence.
He argues that to understand the profound political and economic changes taking place in Asia - including the emergence of 'Two Chinas' and the outbreak of the Korean War - we have to revisit the notion of imperialism.
