自1972年尼克森劃時代的訪華以來，美中關係日益重要；隨著21世紀初中國崛起，更成為多數美國政策制定者心目中最優先的外交事項。然而，早在新冠病毒大流行前，美中雙邊關係便迅速惡化；疫情蔓延後，更面臨前所未有的重大轉折。 本書作者群囊括各界中國專家，包括克雷格‧艾倫（Craig Allen）、瑪麗‧布朗‧布洛克（Mary Brown Bullock）、戴博（Robert Daly）、馮稼時（Thomas Fingar）、傅瑞珍（Carla P. Freeman）、傅立民（Chas W. Freeman Jr.）、高龍江（John W. Garver）、黃嚴忠（Yanzhong Huang）、藍普頓（David M. Lampton）、李侃如（Kenneth Lieberthal）、趙文詞（Richard Madsen）、毛雪峰（Andrew Mertha）、巴里‧諾頓（Barry Naughton）、董雲裳（Susan A. Thornton）及石文安（Anne F. Thurston）等15位專家學者，從政治經濟、軍事外交、社會文化及教育醫療等多面向切入，回顧從毛澤東晚期迄今半世紀以來，歷經中國改革開放、美國聯中抗蘇、天安門事件、冷戰結束、中國河南血禍、美國轟炸中國駐南聯大使館事件、南海撞機事件、世界金融危機、中國加入WTO、中國《九號文件》頒布、菲律賓南海仲裁案、美中貿易戰與資訊戰、新疆再教育營、香港抗爭與臺海問題等重要事件後，美中關係的變化，及其如何牽動了全世界。 如今，當中國進入習近平第三任期，統治益發極權，美國「對中脫鉤」的嘗試是否可行？在這近半世紀的交流中，美國是否不知不覺培養出一位全方位的競爭對手？應該如何衡量美國政策長期以來的成本與效益？理想中的美中關係，除了穩定、安全、公平、互惠，還有什麼樣的圖景？重新回首美中關係五十年，審慎評估，或許可以提供我們更多洞見！
The importance of the relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China has only grown since Richard Nixon's epochal visit in 1972. By the early twenty-first century, when the rise of China had become an inescapable fact, most American policy makers and experts saw bilateral ties with China as the most consequential foreign-relations priority for the United States. In recent years, even before the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S.-China relationship has rapidly deteriorated--and the whole world has felt the consequences. This book brings together leading China specialists to offer a retrospective on relations between the United States and China over the last half-century and consider what might be next. The contributors--including academics, leaders of China-related nongovernmental organizations, and former diplomats and government officials--analyze the relationship from a range of perspectives: political, diplomatic, economic, social, cultural, commercial, educat
