Recenzje

"This book compares how China and India, the two most populous countries in the world, respond to the HIV/AIDS disease domestically by framing it as a national security threat. ... the book is recommended for those looking for a detailed description of how the two Asian giants have responded to HIV/AIDS to date." (Lai-Ha Chan, The China Journal, Vol. 77, January, 2017)
