Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970S
Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970s Chien Wen Kung Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Chien Wen Kung All rights reserved ABSTRACT Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970s Chien Wen Kung This dissertation explains how the Republic of China (ROC), overseas Chinese (huaqiao), and the Philippines, sometimes but not always working with each other, produced and opposed the threat of Chinese communism from the end of World War II to the mid-1970s. It is not a history of US- led anticommunist efforts with respect to the Chinese diaspora, but rather an intra-Asian social and cultural history of anticommunism and nation-building that liberates two close US allies from US- centric historiographies and juxtaposes them with each other and the huaqiao community that they claimed. Three principal arguments flow from this focus on intra-Asian anticommunism. First, I challenge narrowly territorialized understandings of Chinese nationalism by arguing that Taiwan engaged in diasporic nation-building in the Philippines. Whether by helping the Philippine military identify Chinese communists or by mobilizing Philippine huaqiao in support of Taiwan, the ROC carved out a semi-sovereign sphere of influence for itself within a foreign country. It did so through institutions such as schools, the Kuomintang (KMT), and the Philippine-Chinese Anti-Communist League, which functioned transnationally and locally to embed the ROC into Chinese society and connect huaqiao to Taiwan. -

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES SUPREME COURT MANILA En Banc G.R. No. 213948 KNIGHTS OF RIZAL Petitioner - versus - DMCI HOMES, INC. ET AL. Respondents MEMORANDUM FOR DMCI PROJECT DEVELOPERS, INC. To love one’s city, and have a part in its advancement and improvement, is the highest privilege and duty of a citizen. – Daniel H. Burnham, architect and master planner of Manila REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES SUPREME COURT MANILA En Banc KNIGHTS OF RIZAL, Petitioner, - versus - G.R. No. 213948 DMCI HOMES, INC. ET AL., Respondents. MEMORANDUM Private respondent DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (“DMCI-PDI”), by counsel, respectfully states: Prefatory In December 1913, the Jose Rizal National Monument (“Rizal Monument”) was erected on the Luneta as a tomb and a memorial to Jose Rizal. Since its creation in 1907 as the model entitled Motto Stella up to the present, more than a century hence, it has been mired in controversy. The stat- ue of Rizal was criticized as a poor depiction of the national hero, dressed like a European in an ill-fitting overcoat, while the monument itself, according to the Official Gazette web- site, “shies away from magnificence. It does not tower, there are no ornate details, no grandiose aesthetic claims.”1 For decades after its installation until 1961, it stood alone in an empty field. Then the Knights of Rizal, petitioner in this case (“petitioner”), successfully lobbied for the building of a Rizal Memorial Cultural Center at the back of the monument, which was never built. But a towering steel shaft that reached more than 30 meters was installed on the monument, until it was removed two years later after widespread censure. -
