ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In the writing of this book since 2009, I have accumulated tremendous debts to many people in China, the US and Japan, and beyond. There are too many who assisted me over the years. I apologize that I could not name each of them, either due to the length of the appreciation list or the preference of some to be anonymous. However, I should give special thanks to the following persons. Special thanks are due to Wang Jisi, who has been my long-standing mentor. Our conversations and discussions on China–Japan–US trilateral relations in the past decade have been a valuable source of inspiration. He also kindly read the manuscript and provided important insights. I have also benefited greatly from stimulating ruminations with Jia Qingguo, Yan Xuetong, Wang Yizhou, Zhu Feng, Yu Tiejun, Jia Yimeng, and many others. In the United States, I would like to extend my special gratitude to Richard Samuels and Michael Green and Mr. Christopher Johnson for accommodating my academic stays at MIT and CSIS respectively and providing extremely helpful insights. My honored interviews with Richard Armitage, Joseph Nye, Jeffery Bader, Robert Jervis, Richard Bush, and many other veteran American strategic thinkers and foreign policy practitioners truly helped m
