‎The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Maos Global Order of Tripolarity‎

‎8vo, br. x-235pp.Cold War; the role of the Korean War in isolating China; ping-pong diplomacy with the United States to counteract the Soviet threat. The historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which two weaker sovereign powers (Shu and Wu) collude to defend themselves against the dominance of another power (Wei), is here identified as a particular inspiration for Mao in building a Sino-Soviet alliance in opposition to the powerful United States. This classical Chinese text provided Mao with a framework for understanding the complexity of global politics, establishing a balance with the two superpowers, and gaining diplomatic autonomy in China?s development.‎
