Book Description

0275963063 978-0275963064 October 30, 1999

This is the first-of-its-kind analysis, in any language, of the trilateral relationship between Israel, the People's Republic of China, and the Republic of China. It is also the first comprehensive analysis of the relations between the founders and early statesmen of the ROC and the founders of modern Israel before the proclamation of the Jewish state in 1948. It includes eyewitness testimony from five of the key players involved in the trilateral relationship; historical analysis from Chinese, Israeli, Arab, and East Indian perspectives; and a multilingual bibliography.

The collection describes Israeli-ROC and Israeli-PRC relations that vacillated over the decades. By 1998, they stabilized into full diplomatic relations between Israel and the PRC and officially unofficial trade and cultural ties between Israel and the ROC—an accommodation that has also been adopted in Sino-American relations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Friend and Teacher, March 25, 2009
This review is from: China and Israel, 1948-1998: A Fifty Year Retrospective (Hardcover)
Having had the great honnour and esteamed priviledge of have Professor Jonathan Goldstein teach me History at Nasson College, this book is one of his greatest works of all-time. I read his first book Philadelphia and the China Trade 1682-1846 and thought that this book was a knockout, I was dead wrong. China and Isreal 1948-1998 is really outstanding. I feel that the next book written by Dr.Goldstein will be a best seller. I truly think he he best in Asian History and I will always continue to ask him challening questions about China. I want to learn more about this great nation and I want to be able to teach it to my students as well.
