He also explains unique aspects of Chinese culture such as the onechild policy, and provides insight into how Chinese view Americans.Wasserstrom reveals that China today shares many traits with other industrialized nations during their periods of development, in particular the United States during its rapid industrialization in the 19th century. Finally, he provides guidance on the ways we can expect China to act in the future visvis the United States, Russia, India, and its East Asian neighbors.
