Summary

Have we not won all of our wars in the past?

Mao Zedong, June 16, 1965

In the preceding chapter, we saw how Mao's strong sense of martial efficacy, and weak sense of moral efficacy, shaped his approach to foreign policy immediately after he took power. Faced with the outbreak of war in Korea, Mao responded predictably: with military boldness and diplomatic caution. Yet was this pattern of policy merely a passing tendency in the aftermath of the revolution? Or was it to prove a persistent feature of Chinese foreign policy under Mao?
