eBooks, eBook Download (PDF), China Boys offers a close-up, worms-eye view of the U.S. opening to China and the pioneer days in U.S.-China relations that followed. Diplomat Nicholas Platt describes preparations for the historic Nixon visit to China in 1972 and the interplay within the U.S. delegation during the visit itself. He recounts setting up Americas first resident diplomatic office in the PRC, headed by David Bruce, and first encounters between Americans and Chinese, including Olympic athletes, orchestra maestros, Members of Congress, airplane manufacturers, bankers, scientists, and inner city youths. He further reveals the forging of the first links between the Pentagon and the Peoples Liberation Army following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and shows how these all these diverse practical ties later evolved into todays huge and crucial relationship. He also examines the role played by nongovernmental organizations like the Asia Society in building U.S.-China relations.Nick Platt, a key participant when the Pentagon and the PLA began to talk to each other in 197980, illuminates the beginning of what is becoming the key relationship in the worlds military balance.HAROLD BROWN, U.S. Secretary of Defense, 197781China Boys is a timely, enlightening, and entertaining book by a distinguished U.S.-China relations insider who was with Nixon and Kissinger at the beginning and has enjoyed a ringside seat ever since. . . .
