Much of what the Communists have wrought in China was begun before them by the revolution of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kaishek; the Communists simply stole the revolution by deceit and mutiny while the country struggled against Japan. That power could not have been won without the carefully measured direction, aid and comfort of Communist Russia. The Communist rise in China might have been forestalled by wiser, firmer policies of China's Western friends. But what was relevant to the rest of the world last week was that China's Communists had been able to assemble...
...railways could be built in Sinkiang, Manchuria, Tibet and Mongolia, and if all these railways could be linked into one system," said Sun Yat-sen long ago, "then China's people would have cheap food to eat." Red China and the Soviet Union are now building Sun Yat-sen's railroads, with a notably different purpose. They mean, by 1957, to bring Communist power by rail into Asia's heartland, to forge new steel bands across the world's greatest continent and to consolidate their grand alliance...
...labor unions in the U.S. and Scotland. In 1923 came Agitator Borodin's big assignment: advising (and infiltrating) China's struggling revolutionary movement under Sun Yatsen.

It is just like Fourth of July. We have parades and speeches and feasts, just like in America." He thought a moment, then added, "Also we celebrate the Fourth...
...been seriously infected with the propaganda germs spread daily from Peking: "America is Public Enemy No. 1. From billboards and posters, through the press, film and radio, in incessant speeches and slogans, the U.S. is reviled as an imperialist and an aggressor. Even the mild-mannered Madame Sun Yat-sen chuckled with glee when drawing our attention to a cartoon depicting Dean Acheson . . . as a 'bacterial bug.'" Moraes noted that Chinese who speak English with an American accent are nervous about where they got their education; he met one Columbia-educated Chinese interpreter who, while favoring American-style...
