"Patriots" Or "traitors"?

Focusing on the significant but often unacknowledged impact American trained Chinese students have played in China during the 20th century, historian Bieler investigates what price China has paid in terms of technological and economic development and social cohesion by choosing the revolutionary path and rejecting these liberal change agents, and what role US pride and policies have played in undermining its own goal of transferring American values to China and building mutual friendship between the two countries.
