China on the Sea: How the Maritime World Shaped Modern China

Buch

This volume challenges the Walled Kingdom perspective. China reached out to the seas far more actively than historians have allowed, while the maritime world shaped China, Qing China in particular, much more than the continental world. It gave birth to and defined Chinese modernity.
