In the early days of the People's Republic, diplomats were highly-disciplined, committed communists who feared revealing any weakness to the threatening capitalist world. Remarkably, the model that revolutionary leader Zhou Enlai established continues to this day despite the massive changes the country has undergone in recent decades. Even today, Chinese diplomats work in pairs so that one can always watch the other for signs of ideological impurity. China's Civilian Army charts the history of China's diplomatic corps from its earliest days through to the present, drawing on the memoirs of more than a hundred retired diplomats and dozens of interviews"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Diplomatic and consular service, Chinese $x History. 651 0 $a China $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $y 1949- 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CAB5F6C25A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
