   Based on a wealth of authentic source material from American, Russian, Bulgarian, Chinese and Eastern European archives and the latest research, the book reveals the history of the political relationship between China, Russia, Eastern European countries and Bulgaria from the perspective of major geopolitics in the 20th and early 21st centuries century. The author corrects a number of established clichés about Chinese foreign policy and about China's relations with the countries of the Soviet bloc with an emphasis on Bulgarian-Chinese relations during and after the Cold War.
