"Germany and China is a rich book that extends this transnational approach to Asian-German studies in general and to the study of Sino-German relations in particular. ... Germany and China serves as a thoroughly researched, immensely informative guide for extending German studies to new exciting encounters with other disciplines." (David D. Kim, Amerikastudien, Vol. 61 (3), 2017) "This publication truly achieves the editors' claim to provide 'a more comprehensive presentation and a broader analysis of Sino-German relations from the eighteenth century to the twentieth century than any existing volume on this topic' ... . I highly recommend this excellently edited volume to students and scholars of IR studies, to historians and ... to anyone who is interested in German-Asian studies or in transnational approaches in general."
