Jun traces the development of Chinese foreign policy from the birth of the People's Republic of China in October 1949 to 1955 when the triumph of the Communist Party of China had mutated into building the new Chinese state. It was during the same period, he says, that the US and the Soviet Union gradually stepped back from the early, extremely intense, and almost rigid confrontation of the early Cold War, and he shows how that process influenced the forging of Chinese foreign policy.
