Drawing upon newly available documentary evidence from the U.S. and China, Yafeng Xia, associate professor of history at the University of Long Island, and the George Washington University's Malgorzata Gnoinska will explore how the relationship between the U.S. and China evolved between 1949 and 1972 from confrontation to rapprochement.

His articles have been published in Diplomatic History, the Journal of Cold War Studies, Chinese Historical Review and International History Review.
