In the 1930s and 1940s, the prevalent American view of China was that of a friendly, democratic, and increasingly Christian state, in many ways akin to the United States. This book shows how the notion of the Chinese as aspiring Americans helped shape American opinion and policies toward Asia for almost twenty years. This notion derived less from the reality of Chinese historical or cultural similarities than from a projection of American values and culture, fuelled by various political, economic, and religious interests. Blurred American images of China resulted in a wholly unrealistic view of the quality and effectiveness of the government of Chiang Kai-shek, raising expectations that could not possibly be met. The victory of the Chinese communists in 1949 was a shocking and bewildering experience for many Americans, contributing to the fervent anticommunism of the era and the reckless hunt for those responsible for 'losing' China.
