These were dominated by two underlying themes: the elimination of the British imperialist position in China and the establishment of an equal and reciprocal bilateral relationship. The negotiations started promisingly in 1942-1943, but, by 1949, had failed to reach a satisfactory settlement. Behind the failure lay a complex set of domestic considerations and external factors, including the powerful infl uence of the United States. Even after seven decades, the failure still has a contemporary impact. Recent Sino-British disputes over the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement and incessant Indo-Chinese confl icts and skirmishes over their unsettled borders all attest §16§ to the enduring legacy of the years 1942-1949 as setting the scene for subsequent Sino-British and Sino-Indian relations. From this perspective, the history has never left us. § §02§Zhaodong Wang, Lecturer at School of International Studies, Renmin University of China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OLDENBOURG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48842990158059,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":190.42,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783110706420-1.jpg?v=1781718979","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783110706420","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
