National Agenda Items - Red ChinaThe March Unit meetings will be on National Agenda Item, Red China. The objectives of the study are to increase the understanding of the 'United States-Red China Relationship' and 'to examine and evaluate opportunities for, and desireabilities of, change in U.S. policies toward Red China'. The fascinating story of Chinese development affects us all. Generally speaking, we have felt overwhelmed by our own ignorance on the subject and the limited resources available. But all of that is changing now. With the wealth of material being published on the subject, documentaries, panel discussions such as 'Columbia in Hawaii' and the day by day news broadcasts of the struggles going on in China today, we certainly have a lot to work with. We can hardly hope to understand the feelings and actions of the Chinese people or to know how to deal with them without first learning 'what makes them tick.' This is what makes the subject so interesting. Delving into their philosophy, history, and social structure and comparing them with our own gives us some good ideas of why we seem to- be at opposite poles both politically and economically. Are you interested in answers to questions such as these?
Come to the Units and help us discuss answers to questions like these. And before you do, here is come recommended reading material.
*The China Puzzle: We bring Your attention to a NEW League publication, "The China Puzzle" has the special attraction of being produced at the start of our U.S.-China study and therefore it makes it possible for every member to begin looking into the subject at the same time. (Not even an old League hand can claim expertise on China from years of League study or files on LWV publications. And we hope that every member will make it a point to get her own copy, because The China Puzzle is intended for all of us, not just the resource committee or foreign policy experts. This is a publication that every member, can approach without feeling she suffers from lack of background. For the background is built right into the book. Buy one for Daddy, your teenager, Uncle Tom and Grampa, too. Tell them the book -
