In my latest at the Diplomat, I relate some thoughts about Chinese economic statecraft during the Cold War…

The growing financial might of China has spawned numerous studies of Chinese economic statecraft, ranging from the measured to the alarmist. However, while Beijing’s use of economic tools to achieve its diplomatic ends has taken on a new character since the end of the Cold War, the PRC has long used foreign aid as a means of shoring up its geostrategic position. A new book by Shu Guang Zhang, Beijing’s Economic Statecraft during the Cold War, 1949-1991, details how Beijing used “soft” economic power for the first 40 years of the PRC’s existence to both resolve core problems with the domestic economy, and to expand the China’s international influence.
