Transnational organizations intervened in the early twentieth century due to repeated epidemic outbreaks in China, shaping strategies for international health. China has also been a hub of creativity and innovation, with administrators developing new models of health care during decades of war and revolution, while traditional practitioners offered alternatives to Western biomedicine. The establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 marked a new era of socialist internationalism, with initiatives to establish connections across the non-aligned world through medical diplomacy. After 1978, the post-socialist transition led to new configurations of health governance. The rich and diverse history of Chinese involvement in global health provides insights into present-day crises. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781009045667\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary AugustaBrazelton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094989369594,"sku":"9781009045667","price":17.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1676023567974_book.jpg?v=1676461573","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/china-in-global-health-past-and-present-9781009045667","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
