About this resource
"The documents in Secion I combine eye-witness accounts, weekly and monthly summaries, annual reviews, reports and analyses with a synthesis of newspaper articles and conference reports, economic assessments and synopses on leading Chinese personalities. There is a constant exchange of information between London and the British Embassy in Beijing and its consular outposts and a continual dialogue on issues relating to East Asia between Britain and America as well as with European and Commonwealth partners. Sino-Soviet relations also become a very important consideration in the Cold War era. Key topics covered include: In depth analysis of the Communist Revolution and all the major figures; Tthe Korean War; The economic situation in China, industrialisation and modernisation; HMS Amethyst and the blockade of the Yangtze River; Differences between British and American domestic policy on China; The Chinese Communist threat to Hong Kong; Land reform and redistribution benefitting some 60% of the population, but persecuting over a million people who often lost their lives and well as their lands; American military support and financial aid for Formosa/Taiwan; Chinese military machinations and the Cold War."--Publisher description.
