Lam, Lai Sing
Mao Tse-Tung's Purposive Contention with the Superpowers

The Theory of Ch'i.

Lai Sing Lam thoroughly analyzes the element of purposive contention in China's foreign relations with the superpowers. From the reviews: "By demonstrating that Mao's spirit of purposiveness and will power were intimately related to his hyperbolical-astronomical ch'i, the author has made original contributions to both fields of international relations and Chinese studies" (Herbert Yee). - "The examination of the element of ch'i in the works of Mao Tse-tung is an unprecedented and valuable theoretical contribution which could inspire similar investigations of works of other Chinese and East Asian political leaders. The pioneering study of Lam Lai Sing enriches the literature of political theory and Chinese studies as well as furthers the understanding of China's international perspective" (Wilfrido V.
