| book description |

A vivid history of the relationship between Britain and China, from 1600 to the present Â The relationship between Britain and China has shaped the modern world. Chinese art, philosophy and science have had a profound effect upon British culture, while the long history of British exploitation is still bitterly remembered in China today. But how has their interaction changed over time? Â From the early days of the East India Company through the violence of the Opium Wars to present-day disputes over Hong Kong, Kerry Brown charts this turbulent and intriguing relationship in full. Britain has always sought to dominate China economically and politically, while Chinaâ€™s ideas and exportsâ€”from tea and Chinoiserie to porcelain and silkâ€”have continued to fascinate in the west. But by the later twentieth century, the balance of power began to shift in Chinaâ€™s favour, with global consequences. Brown shows how these interactions changed the world orderâ€”and argues that an understanding of Britainâ€™s relationship with China is now more vital than ever.
