A Most Successful Service in International Public Relations’? The Yuyitung Affair and the Republic of China’s Other Worlds, 1970–73
International histories of the Republic of China (ROC) from the 1950s to the 1970s largely foreground official diplomacy and US-ROC relations, to the neglect of other ‘worlds’ that the regime engaged with. This article departs from such scholarship by explaining the ROC’s little-known global public relations campaign in response to the sentencing and detention in Taiwan of Philippine-Chinese journalists Quintin and Rizal Yuyitung. Heavily critici…

In the Name of Anticommunism: Chinese practices of ideological accommodation in the early Cold War Philippines
This article builds on work by social and cultural historians of the Cold War such as Heonik Kwon and Masuda Hajimu by showing how three groups of Chinese actors helped create the locally specific reality of Chinese anticommunism in the Philippines during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It argues that, in a climate thick with Sinophobia and fears of communism, but largely devoid of actual Chinese Reds, anticommunism for the Chinese was only secon…
