| Summary: | Relevance of the question of establishing regular contacts between the U.S. government and the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) during the Second World War is determined by the role of Communist-led China in the modern world, its growing importance in international politics, by actual transformation of this nation into a second global superpower. The purpose of the study is to trace, relying on the principle of historicism and the in-depth analysis of currently available sources, the subject of the evolution of the American approach to the issue of cooperation with the CPC including military interaction between the United States and the Chinese Communists in order to resist the Japanese invasion, prevent civil war and the possible Soviet intervention into Chinese internal political conflict. The result reveals the presence of the complex contradictions between the policies of the Chiang Kai-shek government, aimed at China strengthening and enhancement of its role in international politics, and the line of the Roosevelt administration aimed at making Kuomintang-controlled China the precision instrument of the American policy in Asia, as well as the lack of available instrument of pressure of the U.S. government on Chinese political establishment. The consequence was the opposition of the Chiang Kai-shek government to the American efforts caused by reluctance of the upper circles of the Kuomintang to make any concessions to their political opponents and the determination to prevent any form of foreign interference into Chinese home affairs; American efforts to establish ties with the CPC were considered as such interference. |
