The Policy Of China's Great Power Status In The United States During The Pacific War

During the Pacific War, in view of the actual need of the war against Japan in the Far East and considering the postwar world order, the United States undertook a policy of supporting China to be a great power for her own interests. Mainly, this policy was embodied by upholding China's status as a great power on the side of politics. During the war, the goal of American policy of supporting China's status as a great power was maintaining the combat situation of the China Theater. And, after the war, the goal was wishing China to be a kind of strong and steady force, so as to set and keep a new world order in the Far East which would benefit the United States. Such policy was compensative, ideal and selfish. In essence, through taking advantage of Chinese needs and reliance and by means of supporting her status as a great power, the United States adopted such policy to ensure China standing by her, so that she could realizing her interests to the maximum in China. This policy had attained some goals, but owing to its disregard for and hostility to the Chinese revolution, it fell into overall failure at last.
