Price Introduction Ten years ago, on Janwary 21, 1949, the Chinese Communist army took Peking, and in the same year the Communist regime was established upon the mainland of China. The events of this past decade have shaken China and the world. We have watched the People's Republic of China become a formidable power in international affairs, bid- ding strongly now for membership in the United Nations. As this is written the eyes of all countries are turned to the Formosa Straits and the Far East, and fears of war are mingled with hopes and prayers for peace. The upheaval in China has profoundly. influenced all phases of Chinese life and society including the work of Christian missions and of the Christian churches and institutions which they planted. Western missionary effort seems to be a closed chapter. Chinese Christianity is almost isolated from the world-wide Christian communi ty, and has been compelled to make serious adjustments to the philosophy and policies of the Communist government. Yet it is still in many ways a vital and active force, tested and tried in the furnace of revolution, entirely Chinese in its leadership and support, seeking new ways of interpreting and expressing the ever- lasting Gospel. The Protestant community numbers approximately three fourths of a million, the Roman Catholic community about two million. As a service to our readers who are interested in developments on the China mainland, and especially the Christian movement there, we have compiled a selected bibliography of books, pamphlets and articles published since 1948. Most of the publications listed are in the Missionary Research Library. A great deal has been written on China in recent years, in many languages and from various points of view, therefore strict bounds had to be set for this bibliography. Most of the items are in the English language, although some in European languages are mentioned and not a few English translations from the Chinese language have been included. The books and articles in the bibliography are of varying quality and style and represent different backgrounds and opinions. We have purposely avoided uniformity of view- Single copies - l5¢ -2­ point in our selection; Most of the important-English books and pamphlets and arti­ cles· of these ten years may be found in our list. The first two sections comprise general publications on Communist China. Here are a considerable number of scholarly studies by both western and Chinese authors: Adler, Barnett, Theodore Chen, Tuan-sheng Chfien, Fairbank, Ganguli, Gluckstein, Ronald Hsia, Levi, Linebarger, North, Rostow, Schwartz, Steiner, Peter Tang, S. B. Thomas, Walker, and others. Some books are sympathetic to the Communist regime, by Alley, Simone de Beauvoir, Mary Endicott, Hewlett Johnson, Lapwood, Claude Roy, Edgar Snow; others reveal strong antipathies, for example the writings of De c,Jaeger and Kuhn, O'Dwyer, Shepherd, Tennien, Hunter and Hollington Tong. Analyses and ex­ planations are prOVided by such authors as Feis, Fitzgerald, Forman, Isaacs, Lindsay and Kuo Pin-chia. Relations between the Soviet Union and China are discussed in the books by Beloff, Boorman, Chiang Kai-shek, T. F. Chfeng, Dai and Wei. Fairbank, Durtiin, Hinton, Reischauer, Seligman and Walker, and others give us appraisals of American policies toward Communist and Free China. Good background material may be found in the books by Creel, Cressy, Hinton, Kirby, de Riencourt, Shabad, and Stuart. The surveys of Asia by Fifield, Kennedy, Michael, Rornulo, Vinacke, and others, devote much space to China. Another type of book is the report on a visit to Red China, with experiences and impressions. For example, books by Bertram, Cameron, Gale, Guillain, Huthees­ ing, Kinnard, Moraes, Pannikar, Rickett, Roy, Schuman, Segonzac, ShapiroJ Sheridan, Sunderlal, in addition to some of those mentioned above as favorable or unfavorable to the Communist rule. Each writer is influenced by his previous contacts with China, his general outlook and special biases, and to a considerable degree his nationality. Interested students will find books on Mongolia, Tibet and Taiwan; pictorial volumes such as From One China to the Other; stories by Chinese who have escaped from the mainland; descriptions-of Communist methods and tactics; and depth studies such as the books by Creel,de Riencourt,and Levensen which place the Communist re­ volution in historical perspective. Both the Nationalist Government on Taiwan and the People's Republic in Peking publish useful handbooks in the English language. The general articles which we have selected show the same variety of interest and approach, and the content of each is suggested by the title. Sections III and IV comprise books, pamphlets and articles on the Christian Church in Communist China, both Protestant and Roman Catholic. There are books and essays which are strongly critical of the Communist regime and of the church leaders who have cooperated with it; other publications show an earnest effort at under­ standing and sympathy. The reports of sarne visits by Christian delegations are list­ ed. The long list of articles in both religious and secular periodicals contains valuable material for the future historian as well as the current reader. A number of important statements by Chinese Christian leaders have been translated and pub­ lished. Section V includes books and articles describing missionary experiences, es­ pecially in the early years of Communist control. Section VI is made up of a few publications that emphasize lessons to be learned from the Chd:.M -6r:i8:hs. • -3­ The Missionary Research Library has some unpublished papers on the China situ­ ation which are available to scholars engaged in research. In Section VII are listed various sources of information on Communist China and the Christian Church in China. These are naturally quite limited as compared wi th sources of information before 1949. We hope that the next ten years will see a greater exchange of information between mainland China and the West and a growing interchange of visitors and visiting g-~ups. Sections VIII consists of the names of organizations which are doing study and research on questions related to Communist China and the Christian movement there. We would be grateful for corrections and additions to this Bibliography. BIBLIOGRAPHY I. Books and Pamphlets -- General --~~----- Abegg, Lily. Im neuen China. Zurich, Atlantic Verlag, 1957.

  • Philip L. Wickeri, Ed. Philip L. Wickeri's Edited Volume, Unfinished
    book reviews 353 Philip L. Wickeri, ed. Unfinished History: Christianity and the Cold War in East Asia. (Leipzig: Evangelische Verlagsanstalt, 2016), pp. 283, isbn 978-3-374-04074-2. Philip L. Wickeri’s edited volume, Unfinished History, consists of papers that were presented in the conference, “Christianity and the Cold War in East Asia, 1945–1990,” at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Hong Kong in April 2014. In the “Introduction,” Wickeri states that there is the need to examine the im- pact of the Cold War on Christianity in Asia. He says that “the time for more careful study is long overdue” (p. 10). In “Religion and us Policy towards China during the Early Cold War,” Qiang Zhai examines how religion affected the United States’ policies towards China in the 1940s and 1950s, highlighting the cultural aspects of international relations. The emphasis is on how Christianity influenced policymaking in the United States. In “Changing Perceptions and Interpretations of the Cold War,” Peter Chen-main Wang focuses on the Na- tional Christian Council of China, which was a major Christian institute, and the perception of its leaders from 1945 to 1949. Philip L. Wickeri’s article, “’Cold War Religion’ and the Protestant Churches in East Asia and the West,” studies what the author calls the “Cold War Religion” and the “unfinished history” of the impact on the region. In “The Survival of the ‘Instrument,’” Weiqing Hu explores the different ways in which the churches in Shantou adopted to maintain their survival before the Cultural Revolution. Then Fuk-tsang Ying, in “Voices from the Bamboo Curtain,” studies the 132 letters written from individual listeners in mainland China to the Far East Broadcasting Company (febc) in Hong Kong from 1959 to 1968.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract Abstract This thesis considers the Chinese Blueshirts organisation from 1932 to 1938 in the context of Chiang Kaishek's attempts to unify and modernise China. It sets out the terms of comparison between the Blueshirts and Fascist organisations in Europe and Japan, indicating where there were similarities and differences of ideology and practice, as well as establishing links between them. It then analyses the reasons for the appeal of Fascist organisations and methods to Chiang Kaishek. Following an examination of global factors, the emergence of the Blueshirts from an internal point of view is considered. As well as assuming many of the characteristics of a Fascist organisation, especially according to the Japanese model and to some extent to the European model, the Blueshirts were in many ways typical of the power-cliques which were already an integral part of Chinese politics.

  • German Cold War Cultural Diplomacy Along the Bamboo Curtain
    Informal Envoys: German Cold War cultural diplomacy along the Bamboo Curtain During the Cold War, even student illness could turn into a diplomatic affair. In 1976, the Chinese embassy in Bonn informed the West German authorities that three German exchange students currently studying in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) had syphilis. The students, all three of them male, came from very different parts of Germany and had met for the first time in September 1975 on the plane that carried them and the rest of that year’s crop of German exchange students to China. Upon arrival they, like all foreign students, had been given a medical check-up and the Chinese authorities had certified them a clean bill of health without conducting specific STD tests. They first heard of the allegation in early June 1976, through the West German embassy in Beijing. Dr Lapper, the embassy official informing them about the matter, seemed convinced that all of them had somehow contracted the illness. The Federal Republic of Germany had only opened a diplomatic outpost in Mao’s China three years earlier. Dr Lapper, a member of the first diplomatic corps sent to Beijing, took the official Chinese claim at face value and was, so the three young men sensed, prepared to believe it. A caveat such as three sick students, rightfully accused or not, could quickly turn into a major problem for the West German presence in the PRC in the volatile political climate of the late Cultural Revolution. The three students ardently protested and agreed to an immediate medical exam at a Chinese hospital, arranged by the embassy, where Kahn and Wassermann tests would be conducted to prove to all parties involved that they were healthy.

  • SECTION 6 Media
    SECTION 6 Media When the Xinhua News Agency leased a massive sign in Times Square in 2011 and then agreed to a twenty-year lease for a new US headquarters on the top floor of a Broadway skyscraper, it was clear that, as analyst He Qinglian put it, “The Chinese have arrived.”1 Xinhua’s foray into Manhattan was followed by a website of the People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, which set up shop in the Empire State Building.2 At a time when Western media outlets are challenged by the internet and weakened by uncertain business models, China’s rise as a major player in the media landscape around the globe has become all the more worthy of attention. The Chinese government’s campaign to “grab the right to speak” from Western media outlets and independent Chinese voices, which it accuses of distorting news about China and sullying China’s image, has come with a rapid expansion of China’s English-language media operations, a concerted campaign to control overseas Chinese-language media, and ongoing efforts to block attempts by Western media to contend inside China. Xinhua News Agency journalist Xiong Min summed up the motivation for China’s new campaign in 2010. “The right to speak in the world is not distributed equally,” she wrote. “Eighty percent of the information is monopolized by Western media.”3 It was time, she said, to end that monopoly by means of what China has called the Grand External Propaganda Campaign （大 外 宣 ) . Since coming to power, President Xi Jinping has overseen the intensification of this external propaganda blitz, which was launched in 2007 by former Party general secretary Hu Jintao.

It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

Front cover: Left: Allene Talmey, “People and Ideas: May Ling Soong Chiang,” Vogue 101(8), (April 15, 1943), 34.

Evans papers (HSE), scrapbook. 2 Introduction: It is the last day of March 1943 and the sun is beaming into the window of your humble apartment on Macy Street in Los Angeles’ “Old Chinatown”.1 The day had arrived, Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s debut in Southern California. You hurry outside and push your way through a sea of black haired-people, finding an opening just in time to catch a glimpse of China’s First Lady. There she was! In a sleek black cheongsam, with her hair pulled back in a bun, she smiled graciously as her limousine slid through the adoring crowd, en route to City Hall. The split second in which you saw her was enough because for the first time in your life you were proud to be Chinese in America.2 As the wife of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, from February-April 1943, Madame Chiang, also known by her maiden name, Soong Mayling, embarked on a carefully- crafted and well-publicized tour to rally American material and moral support for China’s war effort against the Japanese.

  • The Door Behind the Bamboo Curtain – Chinese Law and Policy on Refugee Status
    THE DOOR BEHIND THE BAMBOO CURTAIN – CHINESE LAW AND POLICY ON REFUGEE STATUS BY LILI SONG A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2014) ABSTRACT This thesis systematically considers the law and policy on refugee status in the People’s Republic of China. It considers relevant Chinese legal provisions, applicable bilateral and multinational treaties, as well as China’s refugee policy and practice. It also presents and analyses first-hand information collected through interviews with refugees and aid workers. China is an emerging destination of refugees and other displaced foreigners. Although China is a party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, Chinese law contains no provisions governing the definition of a refugee or the determination of refugee status. Further, there is a gap between the criteria for asylum in the 1982 Chinese Constitution and the criteria for refugee status in the 1951 Convention. In practice, although the Chinese government has generally allowed the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to process individual applications for refugee status, the Chinese government has practically performed the function of refugee status determination in large-scale influx situations through policy decisions. In these situations, the security, political, and strategic interests of China have often overshadowed China’s commitment under the 1951 Convention. China has been cautious about recognising refugees on its territory. However, the Chinese government has clearly demonstrated a growing interest in addressing the issue of refugee recognition within a more formalised framework.
