Argue for Or Against the Proposition on China and The West
Argue for or against the proposition, with reference to the period between 1500 and 1976:
“The West” has changed dramatically over time, and includes rival countries and ideologies that have had very different relationships with China. For its part, “China” has also changed dramatically over time, and different regions, governments, political parties, and individuals have had very different understandings of, and relations with, parts of “the West”. For this reason, it is impossible to make any meaningful conclusions about interaction between two entities called “China” and “the West” that are valid for the whole period between 1500 and 1976. Rather, it is necessary to concentrate on specific relationships and shorter periods of time.
