美国对中国"文化大革命"的早期研究(1966-1968)

中国"文化大革命"爆发伊始就引起美国学界和决策当局的关注.根据对中国局势的分析,美方对"文革"采取"静观待变,尽量不表态"的策略.这一时期,美国对华政策的主流仍是视中国为危险的敌人,继续其"紧逼遏制"战略.中美长期相互敌视以及美方在对华分析和认识上的局限乃至错误是致使中美关系在"文革"初期未能有突破性进展的根本原因.

A Tentative Study of American Reactions to the Chinese Cultural Revolution(1966-1968)

The outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in China has attracted immediate attention of American scholars and U.S. government. According to the analyses of the situation and its development in China, U.S. government adopted a "reserved" strategy to "calmly wait and see, carefully keep silence." The main stream in U.S. China policy was still taking China as the most dangerous enemy, and continuing close containment. The long-term mutual hostile and especially the limits or even the mistakes of U.S. government's analyses of China have together slowed the process of improving Sino-U.S. relations during the early period of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
