Features: This book primarily revolves around the evolution of US-Soviet policies toward China from 1945 to 1949. It discusses both the arrogant ambitions of the United States in China and proves the limitations of its power with historical facts. It also addresses the Soviet Union's refusal to abandon its traditional interests in China and affirms that the Soviet Communist Party had fully recognized the great significance of the Chinese revolution for the security of the Soviet Union itself and for the entire world revolution at the time when the Chinese revolution was nearing victory. The book mainly consists of the following parts: the historical characteristics of US-Soviet policies toward China, the US-Soviet Far East strategy and the brewing policy of jointly supporting the Kuomintang before the Yalta Conference, the establishment of the policy of jointly supporting the Kuomintang, the undercurrent of conflict (the Northeast issue), the end of the US-Soviet policy of jointly supporting the Kuomintang, and the shift toward opposition.
