Mao and Model of 'Greater China'

Paper Summary:

This paper consists of two thematic questions, the first, discussing Mao's shift in focus after the losses of 1926-1928, towards pragmatism; contrasting opinion of the time as contributed by Meisner and M.C.Wright... the second question, the claim to a budding 'Greater China' as rejected by Harding and others, but asserted to be so by American pro-capitalist analysis. The introduction and concluding remarks emphasize the need for varied opinion on Chinese phenomena, but also, awareness of foreign orientations.

From the Paper:

"Two thematic questions discussed in this paper indicate the importance of obtaining varied opinion when trying to understand Chinese developments. A first discussion of what Mao learned from the experiences of 1926-1928, in relation to the opinion of Western scholars is followed by a second discussion of the model of `Greater China' that some scholars maintain, although it is shown to be very debatable.
