The spirit of Chinese foreign policy: A psychocultural view - Hardcover
This psychological interpretation of Chinese diplomatic history considers both the universal psychocultural processes and the uniqueness of China as a nation. It also attempts to establish some interaction between social science and Sinology, and examines face saving behaviour by Chinese statesmen. The author sees the concepts of self-worth and face saving as central to a psychological study of Chinese foreign policy. He believes these concepts are rooted in the cultural elements of Confucianism, Taoism and Marxism, and that the spirit of Chinese diplomacy lies in the pretension that the world can be made right.
