It explores how the weak Nationalist government managed to use its limited resources to compete with Japan in the international press. By retrieving the long neglected history of English-language papers published in the treaty ports, Shuge Wei reveals a multilayered and often chaotic English-language media environment in China, and demonstrates its vital importance in defending China's sovereignty. Chinese bilingual elites played an important role in linking the party-led propaganda system with the treaty-port press. Yet the development of propaganda institution did not foster the realization of individual ideals. As the Sino-Japanese crisis deepened, the war machine absorbed treaty-port journalists into the militarized propaganda system and dashed their hopes of maintaining a liberal information order. -- Back cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Communication -- China Press and politics -- China Propaganda, Anti-Japanese -- China Propaganda, Chinese -- China Propaganda, Communist -- China World War, 1939-1945 -- China -- Propaganda Government and the press -- China HISTORY -- Modern -- 20th Century.
