Jan Berris, vice president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations:
This wonderful volume, composed of contributions from an all-star lineup of talented and experienced China hands, reminds us of the richness of the past fifty years of engagement and the benefits accrued to both countries and their peoples. A must-read for all who want to understand the crucial importance of the U.S.-China nexus.

Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China:
Immensely readable and rich with perspective and detail, Engaging China reckons with the rise and fall of one of history’s most pivotal diplomatic strategies. From esteemed American scholars and practitioners who grappled with China in real time, this is a clear-eyed account of what happened—and a roadmap for what lies ahead.

J. Stapleton Roy, former U.S. ambassador to China:
China is confronting the United States with its biggest international challenge. If there is one book that can help readers understand China's transition, in American eyes, from a quasi-ally against the Soviet Union to the biggest threat to U.S. interests in the global arena, this is the one.
