Editorial Reviews
Review
"Jessica Chen Weiss, an assistant professor at Yale University and a rising star in the China field...provides meticulous, readable retellings of anti-US and anti-Japan populist outbursts since the 1980s...the Communist Party's authoritarian equivalent to the negotiating tactic of US presidents insisting their options for compromise are limited by a hardline US Congress. It thus has broader relevance to diverse cases across Asia, from anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam to Myanmar's rejection of Chinese infrastructure investments on the basis of public outrage." -- Global Asia
"Are Chinese policymakers driven to take more assertive foreign policy positions by the pressure of nationalist public opinion, or do they merely use that opinion as a tool to strengthen their hand in negotiations with other powers? Weiss provides a nuanced by clear answer in favor of the latter position. Her study of 92 protest attempts from 1985 to 2012 finds that authorities restrained or prevented more demonstrations than they allowed but shows that some flexibility proved useful for diplomatic signaling." - Foreign Affairs
