The Power of China

The article presents a discussion on the books "The Sure Victory," by Chiang Kai-Shek and "China," by Ping-Chia Kuo. Since 1950, distempered controversy has swirled around "The China Question" in American politics. Some partisans have labored untiringly to establish it as an article of orthodox faith that "the loss of China" was due to no Nationalist shortcomings but came about through betrayal—even American betrayal. East Asia's appearance has been distorted, for Americans, by the fears and hatreds incidental upon this intramural vendetta. That circumstance is a national danger, which will be eliminated only when informed intelligence recovers control from zealotry.
