- Abstract
- The article analyses the book by the former Secretary of State of the USA Henry Kissinger “On China” which in itself is a solid scientific work on the development of American- Chinese relations after the formation of PRC and on the most important stages of the policy of China. The book is constructed in geopolitical manner, from the point of view of the struggle of the main world powers - the USA, Soviet Union (at the period under review) and China - to secure their leading positions in the world.Considerable part of the book is dedicated to the presentation of the modalities of American-Chinese rapprochement during 70-s of the last century. Kissinger personally played an important role in that process, not concealing his sympathy towards China. He stresses that relations between the USA and China, built on the basis of cooperation, “are necessary for the global stability and peace”. But, as the author of the article points, in fact the relations between two sides took another scenario. We are witnessing an aggravation of confrontation between China and the USA which adopted the course of comprehensive “containment” of PRC.
