Zhongguo -- the cradle of civilization – had finally achieved a modicum of stability after a century of chaotic lawlessness and brutality, marred by foreign intervention, occupation, and two civil wars. But it could have been different. Instead of the communist Chairman Mao ushering in the dictatorship of the people, it could have been the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, of the Nationalist

1947 Speeches/Documents Title: THE PRESENT SITUATION AND OUR TASKS Author: Mao Zedong Date: December 25, Source:. SWM IV pp. 157-176 1947 Description:. THE PRESENT SITUATION AND OUR TASKS [This report was made by Comrade Mao Tse-tung to a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held on December 25-28 1947, at Yangchiakou, Michih County, northern Shensi. In addition to those members and alternate members of the Central Committee able to attend, responsible comrades of the Shensi-Kansu-Ningsia Border Region and the Shansi-Suiyuan Border Region were present. The meeting discussed and adopted this report and also another document written by Comrade Mao Tse-tung, "Some Points in Appraisal of the Present International Situation" (see pp. 87-88 of this volume). Concerning Comrade Mao Tse-tung's report, the decision adopted at the meeting stated, "This report is a programmatic document in the political, military and economic fields for the entire period of the overthrow of the reactionary Chiang Kai-shek ruling clique and of the founding of a new-democratic China. The whole Party and the whole army should carry on intensive education around, and strictly apply in practice, this document and, in connection with it, the documents published on October 10, 1947 [namely, 'Manifesto of the Chinese People's Liberation Army', 'Slogans of the Chinese People's Liberation Army', 'Instruction on the Reissue of the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention', 'Outline Land Law of China' and 'Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Promulgation of the Outline Land Law of China'].

The Relationship Between Chiang Kai-Shek and Chen Cheng in Taiwan As Appears from Chen Cheng's Diary
Chiang Kai-shek and His Time New Historical and Historiographical Perspectives edited by Laura De Giorgi and Guido Samarani The Relationship Between Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng in Taiwan as Appears from Chen Cheng’s Diary Hongmin Chen (Zhejiang University, China) Abstract In recent year Chen Cheng’s personal diaries have been donated to the Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History. This is a very valuable source to study Chen Cheng’s personal history as a military and a politician, but also to gain a better understanding of the inner history of the Guo- mindang and its government and political dynamics before and after 1949. Using both Chen Cheng’ diary and Chiang Kai-shek’s diary, this paper investigates the relationship between Chen and Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan as transpires from these documents. It focuses on some key moments of their rela- tionship in the after-1949 period, as the first month after the Guomindang’s retreat to Taiwan, and the span of time between 1958 and 1961, just before Chen Cheng’s withdrawal from the political scene. Summary 1 A General Introduction to Chen Cheng’s Diary. – 2 Chen Cheng’s Questioning of Chiang’s Capacities After the Withdrawal to Taiwan. – 3 The 1958, Divergence of Opinion Regarding Chen Cheng’s ‘Cabinet Reorganization’. – 4 Chen Cheng’s 1960 “Trip to Jinmen”. – 5 The 1961 “Caoshan Controversy”. Keywords Diary of Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng. Chiang Kai-shek. Taiwan Years. In recent years, the opening of the Chen Cheng Archives at the Academia Historica in Taibei (officially “Vice President Chen Cheng Heritage”) and the publication of Chen Cheng’s memoirs, letters and other historical ma- terials concerning him have made the study of Chen Cheng and of the history of the Republic of China and of contemporary Taiwan much easier.

A Study of Chen Cheng-Po's Sketchbooks: Visuals, Thoughts
A Study of Chen Cheng-po’s Sketchbooks: Visuals, Thoughts and Records (Note: The original version (inclusive of chronology) contains some 100,000 characters. Due to limited space, however, only an abridged version is presented here. For details, please refer to the original version.) By Liao Chin-yuan∗ Ⅰ. Overview1 There are 38 sketchbooks by Chen Cheng-po2, with 1,218 pages of sketches and texts in total. The earliest date—October 24, 1925 and the latest—April 5, 1944, were marked respectively in sketchbooks SB01 and SB34. The former is on a sketch of a nude woman, while the latter is on that of Chiayi Park. In the 20-year interval, no date mark for 1943 is found. In terms of the general themes of Chen’s sketches, nude women and landscapes are predominant, now and again with a few sketches of characters and a few still lifes. His sketches were usually done with pencils, occasionally with Chinese writing brushes and pens. Chen paid much attention to the use of brushwork and lines for the outlines of objects or for chiaroscuro effects without coloring them. Only pen-and-ink drawings are embellished by running ink for partial emphasis. The 38 sketchbooks have not been published in full so far. As a result, the common way of introducing them tends to be informative references to a few sketches of a single theme. Examples include, (1) through sketches of nude women, it has been emphasized that Chen had received an orthodox education and training of academic fine arts when he was a student at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts.

Newspaper and Television Advertising in 2004 Taiwan Presidential Election Christian Schafferer
Newspaper and Television Advertising in 2004 Taiwan Presidential Election Christian Schafferer Please note: This is a draft only At the end of the 20th century, political marketing appeared to have become a global phenomenon with more and more election campaigns resembling those of the US. Comparative research by Bowler (1992), Farrell (1996), Butler (1992) and others has shown the existence of a so-called ‘Americanization’ of election campaign practices in other democracies. This globalization of campaigning that can be best described as media and money driven has not only affected traditional democracies but also democracies of the Third Wave. The reason behind this worldwide proliferation of US campaigning is partly seen as the result of a modernization process and partly considered as a consequence of a transnational diffusion and implementation of US concepts and strategies of electoral campaigning. Modernization theorists claim that structural changes at the macro-level (changing media, political and social structure) has caused adaptive behavior at the micro level (parties, candidates, and journalists). Supporters of the transnational diffusion theory, however, focus “on the micro-level of entrepreneurial actors, exporting their strategic know-how to foreign contexts by supply- or demand- driven consultancy activities, thus changing and modifying the campaign practice in the respective countries.” (Plasser 2002, p.17). Observations on developments in East Asia suggest that any change in electoral campaigning has had its roots in both the macro and micro level, and its boundaries are set by institutional, legal, and social factors (Schafferer, forthcoming). As to Taiwan, the lifting of martial law in 1987 paved the way for a new era of election campaigning.

POLO XLVI’ ‘ .... 7 -r .*. .a RSS.No. 0055/71 December 1971 WARNING ontains information affectin GIOUP 1 .. j. I. .. I I .. i ! This study concludes that no significant Nationalist vulnerabilities to proposed accommodation have developed to mid-1971, but that Peking's expectations and confidence in this regard are now almost certainly on the sharp rise. Indeed, a clear Nationalist interest in possible deals will probably soon begin to appear -- but still confined to in- dividuals. Beyond the near future, and especially as accumulated misfortune besets Nationalist leader- ship, such interest will doubtless grow. Whether it comes to be the policy of the Nationalist lead- ership depends on a myriad of forces, chief among them the Nationalist succession,, the effect of Taiwanese pressures, and, most importantly, the state of Nationalist confidence in outside guarantees of Taiwan's defense. Given a worst-case combination of such forces, susceptibilities to Peking will mount. Meanwhile, Peking will in any event grow more apprehensive that its Ta iwan ambit ions may be impeded by Taiwanese -- and Japanese -- aspirations. This study has profited .from constructive inputs fr,om many offices in the Central Tntelligence Agency. There is a sizable area of general agreement concerning- Nationalist-Communist contacts to date, but because so much of the evidence is tenuous, and the future necessarily speculative, the views expressed in this study remain essentially those df its principal author, Jerome W.

1 In Dire Straits American Diplomacy and Export-Oriented Industrialization on Taiwan James Lee1 Ph.D. Candidate Department of Politics Princeton University Draft. Please do not cite or circulate without the permission of the author. Abstract Scholars have pointed to the period 1958-1962 as marking Taiwan’s transition to export-oriented industrialization. Although the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) had traditionally favored protec- tionist trade policies and the dominance of state-owned enterprises, the KMT oversaw economic reforms beginning in the late 1950s that set Taiwan on the course of a capitalist and export-oriented development strategy. Previous studies have explained these reforms either as an internal decision of the Nationalist government or as the product of American coercion. Using historical case studies based on original archival research, I argue that the reforms reflected a U.S. diplomatic strategy of persuasion that altered the political balance between competing factions in the Nationalist eco- nomic bureaucracy. American officials claimed that a new development strategy would enable the party to pursue its core interests: an autonomous existence in the Cold War and the eventual reu- nification of China under Nationalist rule. These arguments created political support for a reform- oriented faction at the highest levels of the Nationalist leadership, ensuring a rapid transition to an outward-oriented development strategy. I conclude that the KMT’s decision to pursue export-ori- ented industrialization can only be understood at the intersection of domestic and international politics. 1 I would like to thank Christina Davis, Thomas Christensen, Helen Milner, Atul Kohli, Christopher Achen, Ethan Kapstein, Dalton Lin, Rory Truex, Keren Yarhi-milo, and Melissa Lee for their advice and guidance throughout the course of this research.
