Deng Xiaoping is widely acknowledged as the principal architect of Chinaâs economic reforms but how far was he also responsible for shaping Chinaâs foreign policy which emphasized âœpeace and developmentâ? This book explores Dengâs foreign policy and shows how he established basic principles for China to have a foreign policy which supported economic development which stressed âœharmonyâ in the world rather than âœhegemonyâ and which avoided conflict and nurtured a peaceful approach. The book outlines how Deng worked to normalize relations with both the United States and the Soviet Union how he was disappointed by the lack of reciprocation by the United States where relations are still portrayed in terms of âœthe China threatâ and how the principles established by Deng continue to be adhered to.
