Research Interests

China and the world, diplomacy, U.S.-China relations, cultural heritage, modern and contemporary China, Chinese foreign relations, and Christianity in China. 

Since the publication of her book The United States and China: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present (Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, 2013, xi + pp. 377) in January 2013, a revision is called for. The most noteworthy change has been the strategic repositioning at all levels, great power rivalry on a global scale, and the shifting roles of the United States and China in domestic, regional and global affairs.
As with its predecessor, the second, revised edition of The United States and China: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present will take a long-term and comprehensive view of the trends, patterns, and lessons to be extracted from the two hundred and forty years of interaction between the United States and China within a global context, always with an eye to the future.
