News under Fire: China's Propaganda against Japan in the
English-Language Press, 1928-1941 is the first comprehensive study
of China's efforts to establish an effective international
propaganda system during the Sino-Japanese crisis. 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 institutions 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.
