Throughout the War of Resistance against Japan (1931-1945), the
Chinese Nationalist government punished collaborators with harsh
measures, labeling the enemies from within hanjian (literally,
"traitors to the Han Chinese"). Trials of hanjian gained momentum
during the postwar years, escalating the power struggle between
Nationalists and Communists. Yun Xia examines the leaders of
collaborationist regimes, who were perceived as threats to national
security and public order, and other subgroups of hanjian-including
economic, cultural, female, and Taiwanese hanjian. Built on
previously unexamined code, edicts, and government correspondence,
as well as accusation letters, petitions, newspapers, and popular
literature, Down with Traitors reveals how the hanjian were
punished in both legal and extralegal ways and how the anti-hanjian
campaigns captured the national crisis, political struggle, roaring
nationalism, and social tension of China's eventful decades from
the 1930s through the 1950s.
