I created this article after work on the "Communist subterfuge" topic in the Dixie Mission article. I felt that it deserved a much broader and introspective examination than a couple paragraphs. Its plausible that this article might result in conflicts of point of view, but I believe that a solid article based on concensus can and will emerge. As for future plans, I envision at least two topics, civilians and American government (encapsulating both civilian government and military perspectives). The civilian topic would address individuals like Edgar Snow and Agnes Smedley (both whose articles could use some work as well), and the Government could examine in more detail the points of view held by men like John S. Service. A third topic, possibly, might look for or present obvious Communist activities to shape their image in the West (such as changing their name temporarily in '44 to drop the "Communist" from the title). ~ The Rebel At ~ 12:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Due to Миборовский name suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to expand the coverage of the article to all regions as possible. Naturally, information may be lacking or non-existent (what did the people of Zimbabwe really care about the men and women at Yan'an?), but perhaps it'd be worthwhile to include the opinions of the Soviet sphere of influence, Japan, and other such areas. This will require a re-writing of the introduction to a more broad statement, so if anyone feels up to the challenge please proceed with your idea. ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 17:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
