I& #39;m all for Cold War analogies! Good excuse to study more Cold War history and think about its meanings. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/world/asia/cold-war-china-us.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesworld">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/1...
Americans seem to still frame the Cold War in terms of themselves and the Soviets. & #39;Global Cold War& #39; historians dismantled & rebuilt that narrative, but how much has academic work has seeped into public awareness? 从 JL Gaddis 到 Westad, Lien-hang Nguyen, @LorenzLuthi 等等？
Irony of framing current US-China relations as Cold War 2.0 is forgetting the First Cold War started w a hot war between the US and China. It was called the Korean War. Aka, the Forgotten War [b/c America didn& #39;t win]. Now known as the & #39;Forgotten Victory& #39; [b/c South Korea].
Korea was the prototypical Cold War hot war b/c it was a & #39;limited war& #39;, meaning geographically limited to territory outside the US and USSR, and only unofficially/ covertly fought between US and USSR-- but not openly/ officially. To Koreans, it was & #39;total war& #39;.
