History: Hawai‘i was one of the earliest states to form an association for friendship with the People’s Republic of China. Koji Ariyoshi, a Kona-born Japanese-American, founded the Hawai‘i–China People’s Friendship Association in 1972. Later, as similar associations appeared following the resumption of relations between China and the U.S. in 1976, the HCPFA became a member of the national USCPFA, and changed its name to the USCPFA of Honolulu. Koji Ariyoshi had spent over a year in Yenan, China, as a member of the U.S. Army assigned to the “Dixie Mission” to Communist-controlled areas in World War II. During this period, he came to know China’s top revolutionary leaders, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Mme.

  • The Evolving Us Intelligence Regime and the Chinese
    IMPROVISING TRADECRAFT: THE EVOLVING U.S. INTELLIGENCE REGIME AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IN THE 1940S Sara Bush Castro A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Michael Tsin Joseph Caddell Michael Hunt Michelle King Wayne E. Lee © 2016 Sara Bush Castro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sara Bush Castro: Improvising Tradecraft: The Evolving U.S. Intelligence Regime and the Chinese Communist Party in the 1940s (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) The activities of U.S. intelligence officials in China’s Communist base areas in the 1940s reveal that the underdevelopment of the U.S. national security bureaucracy before World War II impeded the ability of accurate and timely intelligence about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to reach U.S. policymakers. Structural deficiencies in U.S. intelligence practices affected U.S. foreign relations, including U.S.-China relations, in ways historians have failed to appreciate. Because widespread anti-Communist sentiment had significant consequences for postwar U.S. strategic behavior, historians of twentieth-century U.S.-China relations have generally assumed anti-Communism was the most important factor shaping U.S. intelligence about the CCP in the 1940s. Actually, inefficiency in the U.S. intelligence process as a result of inexperienced personnel, interagency friction, and abrupt expansion under the Truman administration were equally, if not more, influential on the content of U.S. intelligence on the CCP. American intelligence collection about the CCP in the 1940s, particularly at Yan’an, where the United States maintained a delegation of intelligence personnel known as the “Dixie Mission,” showcases inherent vulnerabilities in U.S.

Richard Armstrong 1848, Richard Armstrong, a former missionary, became the Kingdom’s Minister of Public Instruction and began to promote the widespread use of English. In 1851, the first government-sponsored English medium school was established, and by 1854, these schools were competing for and receiving more appropriations than Hawaiian medium schools. 1896, the Republic of Hawaiʻi government enacted a law requiring English as the only medium of instruction in all public and private schools. Hawaiian could be taught as a second language with authorization from the Department of Education. Schools not following the policy were ineligible to receive government funding. By 1902, there were no Hawaiian medium schools in operation. Three Amendments: Article XV, Section 4 established Hawaiian along with English as an official language of the State of Hawaiʻi, making it the only state in the nation to have two official languages.

    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Hawaii Modernism Context Study B. Historic, Social and Cultural Influences of the Mid-Twentieth Century in Hawaii B.1 Hawaii and the “Recent Past” The story of the “recent past” focuses on the years between the end of World War II and the beginning to mid 1970s. This was a time of new kinds of architecture and decorative design, new approaches to planning and landscapes and new — even revolutionary— changes in transportation, materials and technologies. The mid to late 20th century was a transformative time throughout the world and of particular importance in the U.S. where the innovations of architectural modernism and openness to new design gave expression to and accelerated social and physical change.
