  • Vertzberger gives us a compact, readable analysis of China's policies toward Pakistan and Afghanistan and, secondarily, toward the Indian Ocean area. The subtitle is Vertzberger's thesis: namely, that since the early 1960s, the PRC has seen its greatest security threat in the Soviet master plan to encircle China. This study describes China's efforts in its relations with Pakistan and Afghanistan and its unfolding strategic plans for the Indian Ocean to defend against encirclement. Principal sources for the work are Chinese, Soviet, and other media in translation plus wide-ranging selections from English-language studies.... Serious collections on Chinese foreign policy should include this study.

Description: This volume focuses on current events in the relations between China and Pakistan, and explores the motives and consequences of the two countries' policies. The author describes the history, and the present state of affairs, and examines the views of the two Pakistani statesmen who were the architects of their country's new policy toward China, Ayub Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He also covers the 1965 trials, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Afghan crisis, trade and aid relations, Soviet-Afghan relations, and China's approach to the Indian Ocean.
