"China's Cold War Science Diplomacy" by Gordon Barrett is a revisionist history that challenges the perception of China as a scientifically isolated country during its early years. The book explores the concept of "science diplomacy" and its role in China's international scientific networks. It examines China's involvement in organizations such as the World Federation of Scientific Workers and the Pugwash Conferences, as well as its shift in geopolitical strategy during the Sino-Soviet split. The book also includes case studies of British scientists who engaged with China. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into China's participation in international science during the Cold War era. [Extracted from the article]
