{"product_id":"9781138658950","title":"Affairs of China : A Survey of the Recent History and Present Circumstances of the Republic of China","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1938, this book aims to be a ‘true and objective’ account of China’s recent history and its present circumstances at the time, drawing on the author’s thirty years of experience as a member of the British consular service in China. The recurrent themes of the period are examined: the efforts of the Chinese leadership to build a new China out of the ruins of the old, their efforts to claim a place of equality among the nations of the world, and the development of the conflict between a resurgent China and the ambitions of Japan. Some of the issues studied were in the process of change and others definitely closed by war — nearly all were affected to some degree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988423389419,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":120.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138658950-1.jpg?v=1785750319","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781138658950","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
