任何与中国有业务往来的人都会对2020年中国与西方国家以及其他一些国家（例如印度）的政治和经济关系迅速恶化感到震惊，尤其是与美国和英国的关系。未来一个至关重要的问题是，这是否只是一个过渡阶段，是由诸如新冠疫情之类的暂时性冲击以及中美两国领导人的个人性格造成的。或者，这是否预示着一场新冷战的开始，其特征是多层面的长期敌对，尤其是在经济层面。

文斯·凯布尔爵士曾于2010年至2015年担任英国联合政府的商业、创新与技能大臣兼贸易委员会主席。在进入议会之前，他曾在政府、国际组织、大学和商界拥有丰富的经验，最后担任壳牌石油公司的首席经济学家。他曾担任伦敦政治经济学院、诺丁汉大学、谢菲尔德大学、圣玛丽大学和伯明翰城市大学的客座教授。他一直处于对华贸易的核心位置，并在本书中展现了深刻的理解和清晰的思路，这在当今情绪凌驾于事实、现实和理性之上的时代尤为重要。他在《中国：接触！——避免新冷战》一书中的分析精准、严谨、清晰，为有关中国的讨论带来了现实主义和事实依据。对于所有关注国际贸易和国际关系的人来说，本书都是必读之作。美国主导、英国明显支持的对华冷战进程十分危险，文斯·凯布尔爵士的观点纠正了许多流传的所谓“另类事实”。本书内容及时、重要，对于任何关心国际贸易未来的人来说都至关重要。
China: Engage!: Avoid The New Cold War

Anyone doing business with China will have been shocked by the speed with which political and economic relations with Western, and some other, countries – like India – have deteriorated in 2020, but especially the USA and the UK. A crucial issue for the future is whether this is a passing phase, caused by temporary shocks like the Pandemic and by the personalities of leaders in China and the USA. Alternatively, this could be the beginning of a new Cold War characterised by prolonged hostility on several levels, especially the economic. 

Sir Vince Cable was Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills and President of the Board of Trade in the UK's coalition government 2010-15, and before entering parliament he had an extensive career in government, international organisations, universities and business, latterly as Chief Economist of Shell. He has enjoyed Visiting Professorships at the LSE, Nottingham, Sheffield and St Mary’s and Birmingham City Universities. He has been at the heart of trade with China, and brings to this book a depth of understanding and a clarity of thought that is so important today when emotion and feelings dominate over facts, reality and sense. His analysis in "China: Engage! - Avoid the New Cold War" is precise, forensic and clear and he brings to the debate about China realism and facts and this book is vital reading for all of us concerned with international trade and international relations. The march towards a cold war with China led by the US, and apparently supported by the UK, is dangerous and Sir Vince Cable's perspective is a corrective to many of the so-called "alternative facts" that are in circulation. This book is timely and important and vital for anyone concerned for the future of international trade.
