America perceived : the making of Chinese images of the United States, 1945-1953

Hong Zhang
"America Perceived: The Making of Chinese Images of the United States, 1945–1953" by Hong Zhang examines the evolution of anti-American sentiment among young, politically active urban Chinese between the end of World War II and the Korean War. Zhang explores how American military presence, political involvement, and economic activities in China during this period led to growing political antipathy. The book analyzes key events, such as the Shen Chong rape case and the "Resist America, Aid Korea" movement, illustrating how these factors influenced Chinese perceptions and contributed to the Communist Party's rise in urban areas. Published in 2002 by Greenwood Press, this work offers a comprehensive historical perspective on Sino-American relations during a pivotal era
