Mao's willingness to vist the U.S. in 1945
The proposed visit to which you refer in today's article was in fact a
critical turning point in the relationship between the U. S. and China.
The Central Government under Jiang Jieshi had little if any interest in
fighting the Japanese and was rapidly losing popular support. Because of
this, General Stilwell and his political officers wanted to work with the
Chinese Communists and knew from their experience that they could do so.
But American policy was in the midst of being taken over by hardliners
who opposed the idea and wanted China on their terms. Subsequently,
Stilwell was recalled, Mao's messages were kept from Roosevelt and the
American people for many years, and those in the military and State
Department who had supported Stilwell's view were purged and effectively
silenced. My father is one of the men in the first photograph in your
article--the one with Mao, Barrett and several of the other Americans who
were in Yan'an. May I have a copy of it? Perhaps you might send it as an
email attachment. Thank you.
