Time to revisit the "Teaching the PRC" special issue by PRC History Group. Thoughtful essays, including one by Dominic Yang on New Taiwan History. Yang noted in 2021: "PRC specialists can no longer afford to ignore or misunderstand Taiwan." Undeniable in 2022. prchistory.org/review-october…

My first grad school seminar paper was about discourse about education in 1950s China; I remember coming across Education Bureau documents warning of "Western-inspired" rebels who act like Elvis and cut school. Fascinating to see a possible inspiration for the fear-mongering!
