'... a delightful read and very accessible to the general public. The author’s use of images lends nuance to her arguments, adding another layer of historical data to scholarly research. [It] is a timely contribution to the scholarship on China and Sino-Western relations.' American Historical Review 'This book provides a conscientious and very helpful account of the topic named in its title. It will be welcomed particularly by teachers of 20th-century Chinese history for its ample illustrations, for it provides illustrations of no fewer than 46 political cartoons, almost one for every year of the time span covered... it sets a good standard, and future researchers in this area would do well to pay due attention to its findings.' Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies ’... i vari capitoli offrono complessivamente una fresca ed originale interpre­tazione delle differenti percezioni della «questione cinese» nei tre paesi presi in esame. [’... the various chapters together offer a fresh and original interpretation of the different perceptions of the Chinese question in the three countries studied.]' Ricerche di storia politica
