By cutting off all the existing cultural ties between the two nations and establishing various new cultural contacts all aimed at attacking and isolating each other, the Sino-American cultural interactions were transformed from mostly a constructive force in the making of the bilateral relations into sharp swords constantly used against each other throughout the Cold War. When Beijing and Washington finally allowed and even encouraged the establishment and expansion of cultural exchange as part of their effort to normalize the diplomatic relations between the two sides in the 1970s, the swords were not recast into plows, making the confrontation on the cultural front a constant phenomenon in the coming decades. The drastic transformation of the U.S.-China cultural relations constituted an integral part of the Cold War experience shared by the Americans and the Chinese who still have to cope with its aftermath today. With a careful investigation on the beginning, evolution, and impact of the Sino-American confrontation on the cultural front from the late 1940s to the late 1970s, this book fills a gap in the study of the U.S.-China Cold War and sheds new light on the history of Sino-American cultural relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a China $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War. 650 6 $a Guerre froide. 650 7 $a Cultural policy $2 fast 650 7 $a International relations $2 fast 651 7 $a China $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Li, Hongshan $t Fighting on the cultural front $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2023] $z 9780231556781 $w (DLC) 2023020610 830 0 $a Nancy Bernkopf Tucker and Warren I.
