[Peking 1966~1970, Peking Review]. Original tissue wrappers, a broken run of 154 issues, b. w. illustrations, 21.5 x 28.2 cm., by & large very good condition, English language text. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION The original PEKING REVIEW, journal, as issued in English. With a wealth of excellent primary comments by the official voice of the Chinese Communist Government. The Pinyin name of the journal is: BEI JING ZHOU BAO. * PEKING REVIEW: THE JOURNAL: Is China's only national news magazine in English, published by the China International Publishing Group. It claims a per-issue circulation of 70,000 and distribution "throughout China and 150 countries and regions worldwide. . Founded in March 1958 as the weekly Peking Review, it was an important tool for the People's Republic of China government to communicate to the rest of world. The first issue included an editor's note explaining that the magazine was meant to "provide timely, accurate, first-hand information on economic, political and cultural developments in China, and her relations with the rest of the world." * THE BEGINNING OF THE "CULTURAL REVOLUTION" [Wénhuà Da Ge Ming or just Wenga" for short]: . "The Revolution was launched in May 1966. Mao alleged that bourgeois elements were infiltrating the government and society at large, aiming to restore capitalism. He insisted that these "revisionists" be removed through violent class struggle. China's youth responded to Mao's appeal by forming 'Red Guard' groups around the country. The movement spread into the military, urban workers, and the Communist Party leadership itself. It resulted in widespread factional struggles in all walks of life.During the same period Mao's personality cult grew to immense proportions." . "Mao officially declared the 'Cultural Revolution' to have ended in 1969, but its active phase lasted until the death of the military leader Lin Biao in 1971." The above two paragraphs extracted from Wikipedia below. *** . OUR COLLECTION: Consists of 154 issues from the earliest period of activity with articles about the Chinese "CULTURAL REVOLUTION" ["Wenga"] and the establishment and activities of the "Red Guards" ["Hong Wei Bing"]. * SUBJECT: The reason we have this item is because being the official government voice of the Communist Party in China, there are historical records found within these journals which show the early origins & beginnings of the "CULTURAL REVOLUTION" ["Wenga"] and the dated establishment and activities of the "Red Guards" ["Hong Wei Bing"]. *. . We have scanned a few of these more important covers to give our clients a better understanding of the historical events, and the monumental meeting of the "RED GUARDS" at a mass rallies in Tienanmen Square from August 16th, 1966 and noted as the 'beginning of the cultural revolution.' Other mass rallies followed this "first" and are duly recorded within the pages of this journal. . These journals continue to list articles by and about the "RED GUARDS" and other members of the "CULTURAL REVOLUTION" who ravaged the country and a good number of 'enemies of the state.' . While the focus of items in this collection are on the origins, activities and disbandment of the "RED GUARDS" and their "CULTURAL REVOLUTION," this journal is also loaded with official policy and statement articles concerning America. . America's role in the Vietnam War, anti-American posture, comments and statements make this an even more fascinating item and historical talking point. China commonly called the U.S. a "Paper Tiger" during this period. Articles about collaboration with the Soviet Union and Indo-Chinese against America, and many other useful essays. From August 1966 for the next two years, this was truly the most unique and fascinating period of modern Chinese history [post 1948]. It is worthy of study and research. *** * THE RUN OF THIS JOURNAL: The journal is difficult to find in clean contiguous runs, nevertheless, we have collected the following broken runs: . 1.…

Very good. Original fold lines visible, stitching in margins, some defined discoloration in marginsonsomemaps. Size 11.5 x 15.75 Inches. An extensive 1962 set of historical maps of the Sino-Indian border, published in the Peking Review , an English-language periodical tied to the Chinese Communist Part. They represent a rarely-seen Chinese perspective on a little-known but significant episode in the Cold War. The focus is the Sino-Indian War, a border conflict fought at extreme elevations. The war soured relations between Russia and China, the world's largest nations and heralded the Sino-Soviet Split. A Closer Look Thirteen maps are included in total, combining five produced by the Peking Review and six older maps (two of them in two parts) republished for reference. The Peking Review maps give a general overview of the situation from a Chinese perspective, dividing the frontier between the two countries into western (Ladakh, in Jammu and Kashmir), middle (Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh), and eastern (North-East Frontier Agency) sectors. Together, these maps are meant to reinforce the Chinese view that India occupied disputed territory rather suddenly and without provocation, necessitating a Chinese response. Origins of the Border Dispute The origins of the Sino-Indian border dispute lie in the 19th century, as notions of strict territorial sovereignty were introduced as first the Sikh Empire and then the British expanded their reach at the expense of local states and in the context of a weakened Qing China. Initially, both the British and Chinese agreed to maintain traditional methods of border demarcation, using rivers, mountains, and other natural features. But these methods were vague and incomplete, so that over the course of the 19th century, the British sought a more precisely demarcated border, especially in very remote areas. The large but mostly uninhabited region of Aksai Chin posed a special problem. The Qing had considered the area part of its territory (Xiyu, 'Western Regions'), but a large-scale revolt in the 1860s - 1870s expelled the Qing, leading the British to negotiate with the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, who also claimed the territory. However, after reclaiming the Western Regions (now renamed Xinjiang) in the 1890s, the Qing constructed border posts in Aksai Chin. Throughout the 1890s and early 1900s, various proposals were made to demarcate a border, but growing British interest in Tibet (including a de facto invasion in 1903 - 1904) and the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 left the dispute unresolved. With Tibet effectively independent at this point, the British and the Dalai Lama government settled on a border (known as the McMahon Line) in the Simla Convention of 1914. However, even this agreement left many ambiguities, and, as the Chinese government was not party to the negotiations, it has never accepted this as the border (it is referred to here as 'the illegal McMahon Line'). The Sino-Indian War In the autumn of 1962, while the world was focused on Cuba and the potential of a nuclear war breaking out, a 'hot war' was taking place on the other side of the world that also held great significance for the future course of the Cold War. Although India and Communist China enjoyed friendly relations at first, China's occupation of Tibet and gradual extension of its rule there set the stage for newly intense border disputes. These were given added impetus with uprisings throughout Tibet in the late 1950s and the flight of the Dalai Lama to India. Additionally, China's relationship with the Soviet Union was beginning to deteriorate (the Sino-Soviet Split), while Soviet-Indian relations were improving, and the People's Republic feared an India holding solid relations with both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. India and China were also vying for pre-eminent status among the non-Western, newly decolonized, and non-aligned countries of the world (which is why Zhou Enlai wrote a letter to Asian and African.…
