The Rise of Modern China is an English book on China studies written by Immanuel C. Y. Hsu. [1] It is an influential textbook in the United States. [2] The book covers the evolution of the Chinese history over the past 400 years, from the establishment of the Qing dynasty to the beginning of the 21st century. [3]
The Rise of Modern China was first published in 1970 [4] by Oxford University Press in New York City. [5] The Traditional Chinese translation of the sixth edition of the original book was published by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Press in Hong Kong in 2001, as 中國近代史. [6]
In 2008, the World Book Publishing House published The Rise of Modern China in simplified Chinese in Beijing, [7] using the title 中国近代史; Zhōngguó jìndài shǐ. [8] This edition was heavily abridged, [9] with the last two parts of the original book omitted extensively. [10]
