Features: The only work in China that explores the role of American-born Chinese in US-China relations. Creatively elaborates on the role of Chinese immigrants and American-born Chinese in US-China relations, as well as the impact of transnational nationalism on public life in the 21st century. Based on extensive research and comparative studies, the book presents innovative arguments on the role of new Chinese immigrants and American-born Chinese in US-China relations, as well as the influence of transnational nationalism on public life in the 21st century. For scholars interested in US-China relations, American studies, and the process of globalization, this is an invaluable reference work. Each chapter thoroughly examines and analyzes the immeasurable contributions of American-born Chinese as participants in global affairs to the development of US-China relations. The book emphasizes how American-born Chinese have effectively established trans-Pacific connections as individuals, professionals, and groups, demonstrating that official ties between the two countries are only one part of bilateral exchanges, while informal (civil society exchanges) will have a more significant impact on whether a stable relationship can be established between them in the future. In this regard, the book's significance extends beyond the study of US-China relations, offering a new direction for addressing the series of major transnational challenges facing the world today.
