リバランス　エズラ・F・ヴォーゲル著 聞き手:加藤嘉一 米中日の今後 老大家が語る

The review commends the straightforward read for helping readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the relations among China, Japan and the US. In the book, Vogel and Kato argue that the Communist Party’s tightening control of the freedom of expression and suppression of civil movements is driven by a fear of the collapse of the regime, which was what happened to the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev. The co-authors also note that China’s increasing assertive foreign policy is dangerously similar to Japan’s during the Second World War.
