This book examines Chinese diplomacy after the outbreak of World War One and the formation of power structures after 1914 in East Asia. Through close analysis of first-hand record such as the Diplomatic Archives, the author sheds light on the Chinese diplomatic experience at the Paris Peace Conference and debates key historical issues such as the alleged failure of Chinese diplomacy at the Paris conference in respect to the return of Shandong from German Occupation. The book offers a key re-interpretation and re-evaluation of Chinese participation in the Peace Conference and offers a new picture of this historical event. | Chinese Diplomacy And The Paris Peace Conference by Qi-hua Tang, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
