The Zhang Xinfu Incident Played A Game Between China, The Soviet Union And The Communist Party

In the issue of post-war northeast China,Zhang Shenfu event was one of the typical cases involving the interaction among the National Government,the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China,which not only reflected the dispute over the industrial ownership of the northeast between China and the Soviet Union,but also was a specific case of the KMT-CPC rivalry on the Northeast.As different political subjects,the National Government,the Soviet Union and CPC had different understandings and responses to this event from their own perspectives,and adjusted their coping strategies with the development of the situation.Zhang Shenfu event aroused a significant impact inside the National Government.After this event,the staff of the Northeast headquarter were successively recalled back to Chongqing,and the administrative reception of the Northeast also stagnated.In order to balance the situation,the Soviet Union imposed some restrictions on the actions of the Chinese Communist army after the case.On the face of it,the "fine-tuning" of strategy seemed to blow hot and cold,but in fact,it was the consistently two-sided coping strategy of the Soviet Union.At the same time,CPC paid more attention to the coping strategy and resistant skill of treating receiving personnel of the National Government,and repeatedly emphasized not to hurt the receiving personnel.In terms of propaganda,the National Government,the Soviet Union and CPC conducted different reports and explanations.These different statements were also a kind of historical facts,which were mixed with the original truth of the event,and became the history as we know it.For Zhang Shenfu event,the National Government's propaganda techniques were both "detailed" and "brief",which aimed at CPC and avoided mentioning the responsibility of the Soviet Union.The Soviet Union tried to divert the public's attention from the specific situation of the case,focusing on the anti-Soviet speech in China and the connivance of the National Government,and put pressure on the National Government.In the narration of CPC,this event was a self-directed and acted tragedy by the reactionaries in the Kuomintang.Therefore,CPC aimed at the reactionaries in KMT and carried out the propagandistic counteroffensive in a defensive manner.Based on different narrative framework,the National Government and CPC reported the news and made comments in the newspapers,periodicals and other medias.Both sides waged a tit-for-tat struggle,and brought the interpretation of Zhang Shenfu event into the whole post-war propaganda game.
