Cold War co-operation: New Chinese evidence on Jawaharlal Nehru's 1954 visit to Beijing

摘要

Drawing on declassified Chinese records of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's conversations with Mao Zedong and Zhou En-lai when he visited Beijing in 1954, this essay examines the conceptual underpinnings of Sino-Indian co-operation.
