We owe nothing to their sensibilities : Federal Telegraph, the open door, and the Washington system in 1920s China -- We are not interested in the politics of the situation : the Radio Corporation of America in Nationalists China, 1928-1937 -- By some it is doubted if the Chinese will ever become radio fans : Sino-American relations and Chinese broadcasting during the interwar era -- As if we lived on Maine St. in Kansas USA : shortwave broadcasting and American mass media in wartime China -- Win China for Christ through radio : religious broadcasting and the American missionary movement in Nationalist China -- Unofficial radio hell-raiser : radio news and US-Japanese conflict on the eve of the Pacific War.
"Interwar era efforts to expand US radio into China floundered in the face of flawed US policies and approaches.
