“为中国发声”:全面抗战初期国民政府国际宣传网络的构建(1937—1938)

Voicing for China:Guomindang's International Propaganda Network Building in the Inception of Anti-Japanese War,1937—1938

卢沟桥事变爆发初期,国民政府声音被日本国际宣传全面压制,陷入极为被动的困境。为对抗日本宣传,国民政府组建第五部专门负责国际宣传,然因涉及蒋汪之争和复杂人事关系,宣传效果十分有限。为赢得国际舆论和抵抗党内消极抗战声音,蒋介石成功清除汪派势力,并令董显光另起炉灶,组建新的国际宣传组织。董显光审时度势,在短时期内迅速组建一套覆盖境内外的国际宣传网络,并将宣传重心放在美国本土。通过"利用外人"和"隐藏痕迹"的策略,国民政府的国际宣传取得明显成效,为中国抗战赢得广泛同情,同时也为抗战后期的国际宣传积累宝贵经验。

Guomindang(GMD),breaking the Japanese empire’s international propaganda work since the outbreak of the war,set up the Fifth Board voicing China,which actually performed very poorly due to the internal strives involving Jiang Jieshi and Wang Jingwei,GMD’s two bosses.Later,Jiang got rid of Wang’s clique and created a new international propaganda agency.The new agency,led by Dong Xianguang,focused on the United States and did make a success.
