  • Young Galeano Writing About New China During the Sino-Soviet Split
    Doubts and Puzzles: Young Galeano Writing about New China during the Sino-Soviet Split _____________________________________________ WEI TENG SOUTH CHINA NORMAL UNIVERSITY Abstract As a journalist of Uruguay’s Marcha weekly newspaper, Eduardo Galeano visited China in September 1963; he was warmly received by Chinese leaders including Premier Zhou Enlai. At first, Galeano published some experiences of his China visit in Marcha. In 1964, he published the complete journal of the trip, under the title of China, 1964: crónica de un desafío [“China 1964: Chronicle of a Challenge”]. Based on Chinese-language materials, this paper explores Galeano’s trip to China at that time and includes a close reading of Galeano’s travel notes. By analyzing his views on the New China, Socialism, and the Sino-Soviet Split, we will try to determine whether this China visit influenced his world view and cultural concepts. Keywords: Galeano, The New China, Sino-Soviet Split Resumen Como periodista del semanario uruguayo Marcha, Eduardo Galeano visitó China en septiembre de 1963 donde fue calurosamente recibido por los líderes chinos, incluido el Primer Ministro Zhou Enlai. Al principio, Galeano publicó algunas experiencias de su visita a China en Marcha. En 1964, publicó el diario completo del viaje bajo el título China, 1964: crónica de un desafío. Basado en materiales en chino, este artículo explora el viaje de Galeano e incluye una lectura detallada de sus notas. Por medio de un análisis de sus puntos de vista sobre la Nueva China, el socialismo y la ruptura sinosoviética, se intenta determinar si esta visita a China influyó en su visión del mundo y en sus conceptos culturales.

In June 1954, the two countries agreed on panch sheel, the five principles of coexistence. Sixty-two months later, they shot at each other across their unsettled border in the Himalayas. The attempt to sort out their differences during talks between their two prime ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Zhou Enlai, failed in April 1960. The downfall of Sino-Indian friendship was related to events in Tibet. The land between China proper and India was the source of most misunderstandings, and its unsettled borders the root for the wars in 1959 and 1962. But how did this development come about? Countless observers at the time and historians in retrospect have tried to trace the story. Partisans from both sides have attempted to show their own country in the best light. Responsibility and guilt have been shunted across the Himalayas in both directions. Even if the archival record is incomplete, original documentation from both sides and from other countries helps to shed some new light on the story. The problems that plagued the Sino-Indian relationship accumulated over the period from 1954 to early 1959.

Editorial Note President Richard Nixon and his Assistant for National Security Affairs, Henry Kissinger, discussed the February 1972 visit to the Peo- ple’s Republic of China (PRC) through a series of messages and con- versations during and immediately after Kissinger’s October 1971 trip to the PRC. On October 20 Alexander M. Haig sent a telegram to Kissinger: “The President via Haldeman asked me to convey to you on an urgent basis the following message. He did not give any explanation although I sensed it is related to the imagery problem with which we are so well acquainted: He wishes you to insure that in discussing the agenda with your hosts a specific time is arranged for two private head- to-head meetings between, in one instance, the President and Mao with no one in attendance other than interpreters, and in the second instance, with Chou En-lai under identical circumstances. I was asked to con- vey this to you as soon as possible and would be grateful if you could confirm for the President if and when this has been accomplished.” (Na- tional Archives, Nixon Presidential Materials, NSC Files, Box 1035, Files for the President—China Material, China, HAK’s October 1971 Visit) Kissinger’s response, received in the White House on October 21, reads: “Please tell Haldeman to rest his fevered brain. Our hosts have one or two other things on their minds. Private meetings will be arranged, although I am bound to say anything except the most for- mal meeting along with Chou is a major mistake.

  • The Decolonising Camera: Street Photography and the Bandung Myth
    The Decolonising Camera: Street Photography and the Bandung Myth CHRISTOPHER J. LEE Lafayette College https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5612-5927 Abstract This article examines the visual archive of the 1955 Asian-African Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia. Better known as the Bandung Conference or simply Bandung, this diplomatic meeting hosted 29 delegations from countries in Africa and Asia to address questions of sovereignty and development facing the emergent postcolonial world. A number of well-known leaders attended, including Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Zhou Enlai of China, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Sukarno of the host country, Indonesia. Given its importance, the meeting was documented extensively by photojournalists. The argument of this article is that the visual archive that re- sulted has contributed to the enduring symbolism and mythology of Bandung as a moment of Third World solidarity. More specifically, the street photography style of many images – with leaders walking down the streets of Bandung surrounded by adoring crowds – depicted an informality and intimacy that conveyed an accessible, anti-hierarchical view of the leaders who were present. These qualities of convivial- ity and optimism can also be seen in images of conference dinners, airport arrivals, delegate speeches, and working groups. Drawing upon the critical work of scholars of southern Africa and Southeast Asia, this article summarily positions the concept of the ‘decolonising camera’ to describe both the act of documenting political decolo- nisation as well as the ways in which visual archives produced during decolonisa- tion can contribute to new iconographies of the political, which are both factual and mythic at once.

  • A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts And
    ISOLATING THE ENEMY: US-PRC RELATIONS, 1953-56 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Tao Wang, M.A. Washington, DC December 20, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Tao Wang All Rights Reserved ii ISOLATING THE ENEMY: US-PRC RELATIONS, 1953-56 Tao Wang, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Nancy Bernkopf Tucker, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Sino-American relations from 1953 to 1956 were marked by two contradictory tendencies. China and the United States adopted very confrontational policies toward each other, but at the same time, they took conciliatory actions even as they were confronting each other. Based on the new sources from China, Russia, Vietnam, as well as government documents from archives in the US, Britain and Taiwan, this dissertation assesses the interaction between China and the US from 1953 to 1956 from a multilateral perspective. It puts the two states’ policy- making into the broader context of their relations with friends and allies, and concentrates on their perceptions/misperceptions of and actions/reactions to each other. Focusing on the Geneva Conference on Indochina, the First Taiwan Strait Crisis, and the Bandung Conference, this dissertation highlights the PRC’s often-neglected peace initiatives at the Geneva and Bandung Conferences. It delves into the causes, the PRC leaders’ motives, the influence of the Soviet Union and Vietnam, the shift to the Taiwan Strait Crisis, and as importantly, the US leaders’ perceptions and reactions. This dissertation finds that although the Eisenhower administration had kept alive the idea of exploiting the divisions between the PRC and the Soviets, their policy concentrated more on containment of China rather than pressuring it in order to split the Sino-Soviet alliance.

It attempts, through the study of China's Hong Kong policy, to explore one of the most important aspects of China's external policy — the combination of principles and flexibility, and how Chinese leaders rationalized a flexible external policy in accordance with their principles. In general terms, the thesis analyses how the ideological convictions of Chinese leaders have shaped their view of the world, moulded their strategy, and provided the rationale for both the ends and means of their policies.
