America Perceived: The Making of Urban Chinese Images of the United States, 1945-1953

America Perceived: The Making of Urban Chinese Images of the United States, 1945-1953





While American images of China have been characterized by a fluctuating "love/hate" relationship, many educated urban Chinese youths also retained ambivalent feelings toward the United States in the early decades of the 20th century. The years between the end of the Second World War and the outbreak of the Korean War represented a significant period in Sino-American relations. This study places the shifting perceptions of the United States among an important political group--young, volatile, and politically active urban Chinese--into historical perspective through the examination of the origin, development, and eruption of their anti-American sentiment. These feelings would prove to be a liability to the Chinese Nationalist cause and would ultimately assist in easing the way of the Communists into urban China.
