Unlike many former Protestant missionaries to China who became vocal anti-communists after the Chinese Revolution of 1949, Quakers in the American Friends and Service Committee (AFSC) criticised the hostile US policy toward China and sought to restore their historical ties with China. Drawing on documents from the AFSC Archive, as well as some Chinese and Japanese materials, we argue that the efforts of American Quakers to rebrand themselves from imperialists to pacifists facilitated their comeback to China.KEYWORDS: Cold WarQuakersChinareligionpacifism Notes1 This article uses ‘China’ for the People’s Republic of China, a regime ruling mainland China, and ‘Taiwan’ for the Republic of China, a regime ruling the island of Taiwan, unless otherwise specified.2 William Inboden, Religion and American Foreign Policy, 1945-1960: The Soul of Containment (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008), 181-4.3 For American Quakers’ activities in China before 1951, see Jacqueline Bruzio, ‘Historical Survey of AFSC Efforts in China, 1917-2005’, undated, 1-27, available at http://library.haverford.edu/eastasian/Files/AFSC Asia.pdf accessed 11 April 2022; Susan Armstrong-Reid, China Gadabouts: New Frontiers of Humanitarian Nursing, 1941-51 (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2018); and Lyn Smith, ‘Quakers in Uniform: The Friends Ambulance Unit’, in Challenge to Mars: Essays on Pacifism from 1918 to 1945, ed.

It argues that the dismantling of French power in Guangzhouwan and the maintenance of British and Portuguese rule in Hong Kong and Macau owed as much to the specific wartime experience of these territories as to the convergence of competing post-war interests in China and Southeast Asia. Drawing on multilingual sources, this comparative study sheds new light on the challenges and opportunities posed by remnants of colonialism in South China for the Kuomintang, the CCP, and other actors in a context of Chinese Civil War, early Cold War and decolonisation.KEYWORDS: ChinaGuangzhouwanHong KongMacauGuangdongcolonialismdecolonisation AcknowledgementsResearch for this article was generously funded by a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship.
