Abstract
Once the Cold War dynamics had thoroughly engulfed the nascent People’s Republic of China (prc) with the military intervention in Korea in October 1950, China’s relations with divided Europe were cast in a new light. These relations, which evolved outside of the main international power nexus, have for a long time been summarised as a story of Eastern bloc versus Western bloc confrontation. Only very recently has a new generation of historians begun to re-examine past assumptions meticulously and integrate the history of Sino- European relations in the Cold War within a global framework.1 This fresh scholarship demonstrates that relations between the prc and European countries were much more intense than was previously thought.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
