Results showed that China's propaganda effortsconsisted of official and unofficial activities and activities directed toward overseas Chinese. The official activities were carried out by the Chinese News Service and its branch offices in various American cities under the direction of the Ministry of Information's International Department in Chungking. The unofficial activities Were carried out by both Chinese and Americans, including missionaries, business people, and newspaper reporters, and the activities ditected toward the overseas Chinese in the United States were undertaken for the purpose of collecting money and arousing patriotism. The propaganda program fell four phases, the first beginning with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 and directed at exposing Japanese atrocities. The second phase began with the withdrawal of the Chinese central government to inner China in late 1937, continued until the beginning of the European war in 1939, and concentrated on economic and political interests.

  • The Foreign Office and Policy-Making in China 1945-1950

    The Foreign Office and Policy-Making in China 1945-1950

    THE FOREIGN OFFICE AND POLICY-MAKING IN CHINA 1945-1950. ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS AND THE RECOGNITION OF COMMUNIST CHINA. ROBERT EMMERSON WATSON ~- Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAY 1996 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. 11 ABSTRACT. The thesis contributes to the broad body of literature which examines the role of Great Britain in the origins of the Cold War. In particular it focuses on the Foreign Office attitude towards the course of the Chinese Civil War, and ultimately the establishment of a Communist government in China between 1945 and 1950. It is a revisionist interpretation of cold war history drawn from a study of Anglo-American relations with regard to Chinese politics during this period. Traditional interpretations have emphasised the unchallenged nature of American involvement in China after the war. The thesis argues that during this period Britain actively sought to compete for such a predominant position, and specifically that the Foreign Office sought to replace the United States with Britain as the pre­ eminent Western influence in post-war Chinese politics. To this end, Britain gradually moved its policy from one of co­ operation with the United States to one of competition. Whilst originally seeking collaboration with Washington, the Foreign Office became increasingly frustrated with the problems within the American policy­ making machinery, and ultimately pursued a unilateral position in China. This was most evident after 1948 when the rapid collapse of the Kuomintang position forced Western states to closely consider their relationship with the Chinese communists.

    2015 Independence Day Travel Overview U.S. Intercity Bus Industry Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development, DePaul University June 25, 2015 This Intercity Bus Briefing summarizes the Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development’s estimates of travel on scheduled intercity bus lines in the United States over the 2015 July 4th holiday period. The report seeks to help fill the void created by the absence of a publically-available dataset on holiday travel via bus by providing data-informed estimates described in Section 2 below. Preparing these estimate required drawing upon a variety of data sources, including proprietary reservation information on Wanderu.com and the Chaddick Institute’s Intercity Bus Data Set. Results are presented to show both the anticipated travel volumes over the five-day holiday period from Wednesday, July 1 – Sunday, July 5, which allows for comparisons with air and automobile travel estimates, such as those by the American Automobile Association (AAA), which are typically reported over the five-day interval for this holiday. HOLIDAY TRAVEL PROJECTIONS Our estimates for the holiday bus travel volumes are as follows: Passenger travel on scheduled bus lines is expected to be at its highest level in at least a decade surpassing all previous 4th of July holidays over the past ten years. This trend reflects a continuing revival in the intercity bus industry. An estimated 1,312,905 passengers will make trips of 50 miles or more by bus between Wednesday, July 1 and Sunday, July 5. This represents an increase of about 6 percent compared to the same period in 2014. Booking are 27% higher on Wed., July 1 and 26% higher on Thur.
  • Part II Chapter 1 How China Became a Communist Country

    Part II Chapter 1 How China Became a Communist Country

    Page 64 Part II Chapter 1 How China Became a Communist Country s we have seen the containment doctrine worked well in western Europe. Indeed, after 1945, the Soviet Union did not take over any country where it did not already have troops. Soviet attempts Ato detach Berlin from the West, to infiltrate into Greece, to capture control of Italy and France through communist party victories at the polls, all failed. The Marshall Plan put Europe back on its feet economically; the Truman Doctrine gave Greece and Turkey the help they needed to resist Soviet advances; the airlift saved Berlin; and NATO provided a guarantee of American military aid if needed. Americans had good reasons to be proud of their successes in this vitally important area of the globe. Unfortunately, success among the relatively established industrialized states of Europe could not be duplicated in the shifting, agricultural societies of Asia. Here, and most particularly in China, Americans were confronted with a far more complex situation than in Europe -and it is to this part of the globe that our attention now must turn. Forty Years of Revolution in China There is an old saying known to people who knew Chinese history and culture that no revolution could succeed there without the support of its scholars and its peasants. Unfortunately, most Americans who evaluated policy decisions about China knew little about either its history or its culture. Chinese civilization has a recorded history of some 4,000 years. These can be divided into a series of dynasties or empires, one following another as internal collapse was triggered by strong pressure from the outside.
