One of the effects of Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms is the steady erosion of the ideological integrity of Marxism‐Leninism‐Maoism. To compensate for that erosion, the Chinese Communist Party has turned to patriotic nationalism for a new source of legitimacy. China's new nationalism transcends mere rhetoric but is manifested in the behavior of its armed forces ‐ which makes an understanding of the nationalist ideology of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) important. As revealed in PLA and related military publications, that ideology is a potentially problematic mix of wounded pride, historical resentment, and irredentism.

dissatisfaction with the perceived flaws in an imported development strategy, but was a reaction to domestic socio-political changes. The early 1950s had been characterized from the very outset by "errors of economic planning and...serious pathologies of the political system [that] carried within them, in Henan, the seeds of the 'unreason' of later years" (p. 34). A succession of repressive movements had created a discontented population prudently passive, sometimes resigned and maintaining "a sort of grumblers' solidarity." It was in order to "seize back a lost legitimacy" through "an act of will" (p. 168) that the CCP Chairman vowed to put China ahead of the United Kingdom in 15 years and the First Secretary of Henan promised that "his" province would see the arrival of "mature communism" even earlier. It is to be hoped that this book will one day become a point of departure for a second study, not on the origins but on the aftermath of the Great Leap in Henan. Given the extent of the disaster that befell the province in 1959-61, such a sequel very much needs to be written. Meanwhile we must remain content with a case study that stops short of telling us how 1.136 million perished (the official death toll in the hardest-hit district of Xinyang) but goes a long way towards explaining why.

A SERIES OF diplomatic-political setbacks in the early 1970s suggested that Taiwan-i.e., the Republic of China (ROC)would progressively suffer political isolation. The political isolation would lead to economic and cultural isolation, and the viability and independent status of Taiwan would draw to a close. A nadir of sorts occurred when the ROC walked out of the U.N. General Assembly on October 25, 1971. A motion to declare the expulsion of Taiwan an "important question," requiring a two-thirds vote, failed by a four-vote margin (55 to 59, 15 abstentions). Taiwan's position was not helped by the fact that Henry Kissinger, then Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, was on his second visit to Peking at the time the General Assembly debated the China question. Immediately after the vote, the ROC Foreign Minister, Chou Shu-kai, announced that his government "would not take part in any further proceedings of the General Assembly." Since the admission of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the United Nations, there have been efforts to relegate the ROC to the status of a non-country. It is no longer included in any U.N. statistical reports. The most visible reminder of the ROC's earlier membership, a marble plaque carrying a quotation from Confucius that was a gift of the ROC, was quietly removed in August 1972. A New York Times editorial pointedly assessed the practical absurdity of such actions:
