N Power and N Ach in China

In the early 'slxties, Americans saw in China a model of totalitarian consolidation of power, In the early 'seventies, they see only growth and achievement there. Between these two perceptions, neither has China's internal reality changed drastically nor have American eval uations suddenly become more real istic. But the new material basis of Sino-American relations has gradually transformed reciprocal images. The evidence for this transformation is examined symbolically through the shifting American interpretations of a story prescribed for elemetary schools in China
