CHINESE NUCLEAR WEAPONS POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT, 1945-1964: SOVIET AND AMERICAN INFLUENCES
Title
CHINESE NUCLEAR WEAPONS POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT, 1945-1964: SOVIET AND AMERICAN INFLUENCES.
Creator
RYAN, MARK ANTHONY., Florida Atlantic University, Dow, Tsung-I
Abstract/Description
Chinese nuclear weapons policy reflected, to a significant degree, the pressures and influences exerted by the Soviet Union and the United States. It seems certain that the Chinese perception of national and international interest would inevitably have led to the development of an independent nuclear weapons system, but that eventual decision emerged in response to specific Soviet and U.S. policies. A pattern of Sino-American military confrontations during the 1950's, in which there were...
Show moreChinese nuclear weapons policy reflected, to a significant degree, the pressures and influences exerted by the Soviet Union and the United States. It seems certain that the Chinese perception of national and international interest would inevitably have led to the development of an independent nuclear weapons system, but that eventual decision emerged in response to specific Soviet and U.S. policies. A pattern of Sino-American military confrontations during the 1950's, in which there were implicit and explicit U.S. warnings of the use of nuclear weapons against China, precipitated the Chinese decision to develop nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union extended significant technological assistance to the Chinese nuclear program, particularly in the years 1957 to 1959. Ambiguity in the Soviet policy on nuclear assistance to China, followed by the cut-off of aid to the program in 1959, was crucial to the Sino-Soviet split and reinforced the Chinese decision to proceed independently with a nuclear weapons program. From 1959 to 1964 the Chinese program was a unilateral effort, although dependent on facilities of Soviet design and American and Western European trained scientists.

Abstract/Description
In 1890 the YWCA established student associations in China which advanced the ideals of sexual equality. The YWCA assisted members of the Woman's National Army during the dynastic overthrow and later many of its own members, relying on skills they had learned at the "Y", went on to become leaders in the movement for women's rights. In 1908 the YWCA established its first city association in Shanghai. A prototype for later associations in China, it combined social service functions with...
Show moreIn 1890 the YWCA established student associations in China which advanced the ideals of sexual equality. The YWCA assisted members of the Woman's National Army during the dynastic overthrow and later many of its own members, relying on skills they had learned at the "Y", went on to become leaders in the movement for women's rights. In 1908 the YWCA established its first city association in Shanghai. A prototype for later associations in China, it combined social service functions with educational endeavors. The work Has especially designed to serve displaced peasant women who had been driven by economic hardship to the city in search of factory work. The YWCA participated in the implementation of the Mass Education Movement and in 1922 began its pioneering work in industrial reform. By such catalytic action, the association helped elevate the status of women and promote the woman's movement.

Chinese in southeast Florida, 1900-1992.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Chinese immigrants flocked to the West Coast of the United States when gold was discovered in the mid-1800s. Early Chinese sojourners answered California's call for cheap and reliable laborers. Those Chinese pioneering families who settled in Southeast Florida in the land boom years of the 1920s were not sojourners; they intended to make this country their home. They left behind not only the legacy of the Chinese grocery store tradition, but an educated progeny as well. The absence of a...
Show moreChinese immigrants flocked to the West Coast of the United States when gold was discovered in the mid-1800s. Early Chinese sojourners answered California's call for cheap and reliable laborers. Those Chinese pioneering families who settled in Southeast Florida in the land boom years of the 1920s were not sojourners; they intended to make this country their home. They left behind not only the legacy of the Chinese grocery store tradition, but an educated progeny as well. The absence of a Chinatown facilitated the assimilation process. Yet it did not deter the community's efforts to maintain Chinese culture and tradition, which is achieved partly through the various Chinese language schools and partly through the publications of Chinese newspapers. The Chinese-American community in Southeast Florida is made up of Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and their native-born offspring. Contributing to Florida's rapidly growing Asian-American population, the Chinese make up a dynamic segment of the Sunshine State's new multicultural society.

MINISTER TO THE MANDARINS: CHARLES DENBY AND THE EMERGENCE OF AMERICA'S CHINA POLICY.

PATTON, JOHN R., Florida Atlantic University, Dow, Tsung-I
Abstract/Description
Until the turn of the twentieth century American policy in China followed the lead of Great Britain. Independence, as stated in the Open Door Notes, was essentially a restatement of the most-favored-nation policy in American, rather than British, terms. Earlier studies have stressed the role of presidents, secretaries of state, intellectuals, missionaries, and business interests in the formulation of policy. This thesis is an effort to shift the focus to the role of the bureaucracy in...
Show moreUntil the turn of the twentieth century American policy in China followed the lead of Great Britain. Independence, as stated in the Open Door Notes, was essentially a restatement of the most-favored-nation policy in American, rather than British, terms. Earlier studies have stressed the role of presidents, secretaries of state, intellectuals, missionaries, and business interests in the formulation of policy. This thesis is an effort to shift the focus to the role of the bureaucracy in development of such policies with particular emphasis in this instance upon Charles Denby, who was Minister to China, 1885-1898. It concludes that, while others rotated in office or had to focus their attention on other problems, such men on the scene as Denby were able to learn the standard operating procedures and manipulate events to suit their plans, often independent of the desires of other American business, religious, and governmental leaders.

Creator

Abstract/Description
The study begins with a survey of the China policies of the Soviet Government and the Comintern from 1917 to 1922. The revolutionary background of Mikhail Borodin and Sun Yat-sen is then covered, followed by a description of Canton in 1923 and an account of the events surrounding Borodin's assignment to Canton. The study then concentrates on Borodin's first four months in Canton. Particular emphasis is placed on his role in the preparations for the Kuomintang's 1st National Congress, held in...

The study then concentrates on Borodin's first four months in Canton. Particular emphasis is placed on his role in the preparations for the Kuomintang's 1st National Congress, held in January 1924. The remaining period up to Sun's death in March 1925 is covered in less detail due to the relative scarcity of documentation. A summary of Borodin's activities until his ouster from China in July 1927 is also included. The study concludes that Borodin was remarkably successful in influencing Chinese affairs given the enormous handicaps under which he labored.
