Fascinating account of the Opium War and the mid-19th century political turmoil. Another interesting segment concerns the late 19th Century Reform movement. The Wade-Giles encoding of Chinese names is a drawback, and I find all the apostrophes in the names difficult to work with. On the positive side, though, the index is quite complete and valuable (although there are some omissions that I have noticed).
However Hsu's view of Mao (which amounts almost to hagiography) starkly contrasts with the w..more

This is a huge book. I read the Chinese version, and it still took me more than 3 weeks to finish. If I read this English version I would have to spend 3 months or more..
I was once proud of my country, China. But I'm growingly not sure. What kind of country allows its people to suffer from dictators and suppression, for thousands of years? Ummm, a psychopath one?

I honestly regret not finishing this before I took my IB exams back in 2014. The amount of detail, supported by clear context and reasoned argument has proved highly interesting and doubtlessly would have earned me more than a few brownie points in my scripts.

One of the most influential books on modern China. Easily understandable, engaging and balanced!

Modern China Today

A fantastic introduction to the history of modern China, detailing the cultural, economic, and political impact of western influence on Chinese society since the Qing Dynasty. The book documents China's journey from being a conservative monarchy into today's superpower. Certain historical events were brutal and often hard to read (i.e. the Opium War, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Massacre), but these events shed some light on the cultural mentality of China and how it became the way it..more

Read this book for an undergraduate class at the University of Oklahoma in the Spring of 1982. One of two course I took from Professor Sidney Brown.

This book covers from 1600 to 1990s. I like that it strikes to present a balanced and objective views of major events and changes in the history. I like to read about the details of history events and the reason and causes(including economics and culture) of them, which I didn't know when I learned history.

Hsu's dense work is not what I would call fun reading, but he is very thorough. The subject matter is fascinating and he deals with it maturely. His treatment of China is authoritative, and if you want a starting point for further sinological studies, this is a good one.

Significant article about modern Chineses history in English. Fairbank's book is about pre-modern China and his book is about modern. If you want to know whole the history about China, history and the future, Hsu and Fairbank's books are mostly recommended.

Comprehensive history of China from the fall of the Ming Dynasty through the People's Republic of China's acceptance as a member of the United Nations in the 1970's. Well written and thoroughly documented; extensive footnotes.

The decisive overview of the past 200 years of Chinese history. Unlike Jonathan Spence's Search for Modern China, Hsu excellent gears his text towards students in clearly understandable sections linked to political, social and economic factors.

Although focusing on political and social history more than 'The Search for Modern China', it's much more detailed and comprehensive than other accounts.

Modern China Journal

For the moment I think that this book has a very good balanced views, the writer tries to not be biased and takes us into a very good history of modern china starting from 1600-2000

The bane of junior-college history students, circa 1990s.

Was excellent at the time. Now there are better sources available.
