These were dominated by two underlying themes: the elimination of the British imperialist position in China and the establishment of an equal and reciprocal bilateral relationship. The negotiations started promisingly in 1942-1943, but, by 1949, had failed to reach a satisfactory settlement. Behind the failure lay a complex set of domestic considerations and external factors, including the powerful infl uence of the United States. Even after seven decades, the failure still has a contemporary impact. Recent Sino-British disputes over the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement and incessant Indo-Chinese confl icts and skirmishes over their unsettled borders all attest to the enduring legacy of the years 1942-1949 as setting the scene for subsequent Sino-British and Sino-Indian relations. From this perspective, the history has never left us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZhaodong Wang\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lecturer at School of International Studies, Renmin University of China.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Oldenbourg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401682325778,"sku":"9783111355689","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_4cca596e-96fa-4ab1-9fa8-0a3ee3962f67.jpg?v=1729143199","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/sino-british-negotiations-and-the-search-for-a-post-war-settlement-1942-1949-treaties-hong-kong-and-tibet-9783111355689","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
