Anti-Americanism in China

Abstract

Anti-Americanism in China has a history of more than a century; however, it is only part of a general ambivalence that is manifest in both pro- and anti-American images and behavior. This ambivalence is rooted in the differing value systems of Chinese and Americans, but it has also been stimulated by Sino-American interactions historically. With the seizure of power by the Communist Party in 1949, anti-American images became de rigueur in the official media and academic circles. Demonstrable anti-American behavior by the Chinese public was also evident during the first 25 years of the People's Republic. Since the 1970s, however, anti-Americanism has progressively declined at all measurable levels. In its place have arisen more nuanced images that take account of American pluralism. Chinese government policies toward America have both driven and reflected these evolving images over time.
