The text was written in concert with two Taiwanese historians. One of them presents Taiwanese research on modern Chinese history, while the other shows research from the Taiwanese point of view of the Sino-Japanese War between 1937-1945, "The 8-Year War of Resistance". This book is especially important in our times, when a global world culture is taking shape. It is a first-class introduction to both the contemporary and recent history of one of the world's greatest powers, which has enormous human and natural resources, and a magnificent, ancient heritage and civilization. This book, written 'sine ira et studio', offers its readers an excellent outlook on issues of fundamental significance. -- Contents: 1.
