U.S.-China rivalry and the prospect of unification between China and Taiwan are also considered. Fascinating account of the Opium War and the mid-19th century political turmoil.
Another interesting segment concerns the late 19th Century Reform movement. The Wade-Giles encoding of Chinese names is a drawback, and I find all the apostrophes in the names difficult to work with.

Another interesting segment concerns the late 19th Century Reform movement. The Wade-Giles encoding of Chinese names is a drawback, and I find all the apostrophes in the names difficult to work with. On the positive side, though, the index is quite complete and valuable (although there are some omissions that I have noticed). However Hsu's view of Mao (which amounts almost to hagiography) starkly contrasts with the work of Chang and Halliday ('Mao: the Unknown Story').
One needs to find some bridge between these two works. Perhaps it is best to read Hsu first (I did the reverse) and then read C&H for a modifying update. Certainly Hsu tends to drastically underplay the disastrous impacts of certain events on the Chinese people, including the Taiping Rebellion, the Japanese depredations, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution. He is more interested in the political machinations, rather than the social and cultural impacts. But even in the political machinations, there are questions. For example he says that Stalin was always against Mao, where C&H claim that Mao was Stalin's favorite and that Stalin essentially made Mao.
Also, Hsu endorses the idea that humiliation and losing face is the greatest tragedy suffered by the Chinese people. It was worth any sacrifice, including mass extinctions, in order to return the insults on the arrogant parties that would dare to disrespect the Chinese. Here is a typical statement: 'Like all patriotic Chinese, Mao had always wanted to rectify the injuries China had suffered in the past' (page 682). It's interesting that Hsu claims that Krushchev planned to bomb the Chinese nuclear bomb facilities in 1964 just prior to the first successful Chinese detonation of a nuclear weapon. He was removed from the leadership by Brezhnev and Kosygin for this. But Mao's megalomania drove Brezhnev (or at least military figures under his leadership), just five years later, to propose to the US that Russia destroy China's nuclear capability (with the US colluding or, at least, standing aside during this act).
But Nixon angrily rejected this plan. Further to the issue of humiliation and losing face, Hsu misrepresents the visit of Nixon to China in 1972, particularly the political ramifications of it. His main focus is on the extent to which the Americans humbled themselves, thereby providing the Chinese with valuable pride inflation.
Along similar lines, Hsu justifies the costly and pointless Chinese invasion of Viet Nam in 1978 as necessary from the point of view of Chinese pride requirements (for having been insulted by the earlier Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia). Overall, this is an important book and essential reading. This is a huge book.
I read the Chinese version, and it still took me more than 3 weeks to finish. If I read this English version I would have to spend 3 months or more. For me, born and raised in mainland China, I was shocked by the real history in this book.

This may seem ridiculous for people in democratic countries - why on earth does 'real history' mean, is there any fake history? Unfortunately for me and millions of others who are educated in communist China, fake history is a serious problem. Kids in China are fed with fake and twisted history (or you could say it's a brainwash) from elementary school all the way up to college. In Chinese history textbooks, which are written by government and are the only legal history textbook in China, authoritative Chinese govern-ment made up stuff, and omit stuff, totally on purpose.
This seems uncivilized and crude now in the 21th century. But it does happen, everyday, just around me. What's worse, a majority of Chinese do not know what is going on, they do not know that they are fooled by the government, not at all. It makes me feel so sad.
What can I do? Then I will try to talk some sense into people's minds, maybe. Honestly I sometimes feel hopeless, because there are so many of them, numb and indifferent and obedient to what makes them miserable.
I was once proud of my country, China. But I'm growingly not sure. What kind of country allow its people to suffer from dictator and suppression, for thousands of years? I hope every Chinese read this book, it will open up their minds a little bit.
